Could they not have known what they have done?
|
Sentenced the only pure thing left,
|
That graces the dirt on this earth to... death!!
|
|
Betrayal is an easy way out, and let a filthy tyrant run free!!
|
Had we have ever known that He¡¯d still love us,
|
After we turned our backs and left him in the shadows.
|
|
Where the sun still shines, as bright as a thousand torches,
|
Open the gates; rip the blood-stained clothes from his back.
|
Still he wore courage; tightly wrapped around his neck.
|
|
Marching to death, marching,
|
Echoes through a God-forsaken city, cut like knives.
|
Their words killed; I killed you!!
|
|
(I built this tower for you; this tower for you; this tower for you)
|
You know love, and you know me.
|
The sharpened end of a blade brought safety.
|
(I built this tower for you; this tower for you; this tower for you)
|
Drenched in grace, you took the fall,
|
Along with your life!!
|

|
Drenched in grace, you took the fall,
|
Along with your life...
|
|
Innocence dies today, and I¡¯m quite read to leave here.
|
You still saw me, as I lay motionless from the shadows.
|
You carried me while we buried you...
|
|
(I built this tower for you, this tower; I built this tower for you)
|
|
You bleed love; true love I found in you.
|
|
Oh my God, why¡¯d you kill him?
|
We crucify him over and over again!!
|
Don¡¯t you know that he loved you?
|
But I¡¯m coming home, clean of all the dirt you thought you had on me.
