This saint's a sinner and I'm losing faith
And there's no repentance in saving grace
So you can nail me to the cross
In your church of misery
And at the altar of the d***ed
You can come and worship me
And I'll wear your crown of thorns
With a spear stuck in my side
I'll turn the other cheek
I'll take it all in stride
Ring in the holy gospel of one life losing love
And when you fake your prayers
I hope it's me you're thinking of
Absolve me from love's lament
My angels came heavenspent
There is no hope for you
There never was for me (I'm sorry)
We're here in memory
Of holy you and blasphemy
Long live the resurrection
Of shameless self deception
We'll get drunk on blessed wine
And we'll swear: "We're doing fine"
And in the sacristy
I'll make a bed for you and me
We'll sleep through Sunday mass
And let the world come to pass
And there's no repentance in saving grace
So you can nail me to the cross
In your church of misery
And at the altar of the d***ed
You can come and worship me
And I'll wear your crown of thorns
With a spear stuck in my side
I'll turn the other cheek
I'll take it all in stride
Ring in the holy gospel of one life losing love
And when you fake your prayers
I hope it's me you're thinking of
Absolve me from love's lament
My angels came heavenspent
There is no hope for you
There never was for me (I'm sorry)
We're here in memory
Of holy you and blasphemy
Long live the resurrection
Of shameless self deception
We'll get drunk on blessed wine
And we'll swear: "We're doing fine"
And in the sacristy
I'll make a bed for you and me
We'll sleep through Sunday mass
And let the world come to pass
