[Verse 1]
A sea of eyes beneath me
They're watching me as I increase
In altitude
Though my future is tainted, what a beautiful view
Scared to death, on the edge of distress
My blood is pumping, heart is racing as I enter the nest
Well, I bid you all farewell, and I hope that you'll remember my face
Whoa-oh

[Chorus]
I'm leaving this world I know behind
Goodbye to all the filth that is mankind
It won't be long until your punishment has dawned
And everything you've ever known is gone
Nothing left for me to love
And it buries me, buries me

[Verse 2]
Oh, please heaven help me
The Earth has left me
I've arrived inside my tomb
This must be a sign of my imminent doom
There are figures surrounding me, haunting me
They're inside my head
This is the passion yet I never claimed to be a king
So let me down and cut this string
Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
I'm leaving this world I know behind
Goodbye to all the filth that is mankind
It won't be long until your punishment has dawned
And everything you've ever known is gone
Nothing left for me to love
And it buries me, buries me

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
This is the walk with a cross
A crown of thorns on my head
So swing the hammer and watch the nails embed
I'll pay the price for all of you to live a little more free
But I'm the only one who doesn't need a cleansing

[Bridge]
Praise me, for I am washing away your sins
This is my body that's been given for you

[Chorus]
I'm leaving this world I know behind
Goodbye to all the filth that is mankind
It won't be long until your punishment has dawned
And everything you've ever known is gone
Nothing left for me to love
And it buries me, buries me
