So you can heal
They claim with conviction
You've got a crowd
So what's your appeal
Your voice, your predictions
They're getting loud
But if I let you die
You must forgive me
Raise me up
Up through the ashes
Take me on
Into the light
You want to die
Create some sensation
Be makin' the news
An eye for an eye
My king of creation
King of the jews
Before I let you die
You must forgive me
Raise me up
Up through the ashes
Take me on
Into the light
Give a sign of remorse
(I don't need your blood)
You will hang on the cross
For playing God
You the people must decide
The self-proclaimed prophet
Or the malice murderer
The king or the convict
It's up to you
So tell me who's free to go
Raise me up
Up through the ashes
Take me on
Into the light
Raise me up
Up through the ashes
Take me on
Into the light
(Raise me up
Up through the ashes
Up through the ashes
Up through the ashes)
