Crucify Me

Lyrics: Elpis

Third Person View

(Verse 1)
Crucify me, let me hang,
Then throw my body to the morgue in chains.
If the grave rejects my name,
Let the vultures whistle through the rain.
And if even they turn me away,
Wash my sins in tears I’ve made.
Still, if my grave denies me rest,
Let the winds take me— lay me to waste.

(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t you dare show me grace,
Strike me down, erase my face.
Don’t you ask, don’t you plead,
Lock me up and lose the key.
Don’t you try to understand,
Chain my mind with iron hands.
Don’t you weep, don’t pretend,
Sell my soul to demons then.

(Chorus)
My heart is gone, the walls have crashed,
No mercy now, no turning back.
Too late to hear my dying screams,
The echoes fade in silent grief.
They stole the light, they stole my soul,
No need to bring back what they stole.
The reaper waits but says no word,
A hollow prayer left unheard.

(Verse 2)
String me up, light the flames,
Build an inquisition in my name.
Give the word to Torquemada,
He won’t ever disobey.
Tear my heart and burn the flood,
Make my blackened soul your blood.
But don’t you dare look in my eyes,
Was I always scared of life?

(Bridge)
Take my breath, end me tonight,
Snuff the stars, turn back time.
Erase the years, let darkness reign,
Nothing here but endless pain.

(Outro)
Crucify me, let me hang,
Then throw my body to the morgue in chains...
