[Verse 1]
As if they were tearing through my flesh, it was embedded in my mind
That Jesus died for me... How foolish can they be

[Verse 2]
As if they were tearing through my flesh, it was embedded in my mind
Jesus didn't die for me...
Jesus died

[Hook 1]
How foolish can they be to worship such a king
Who was crowned and hung between two thieves

[Verse 3]
In hopes of his return, we congregate in prayer
A faith so strong it obscured us from the truth
Your cross was my enslaver
Nails that held me close
Your precious blood was shed
And I don't accept your pain

[Hook 2]
Monarch of deceit on a cross of hope and fear
Not a symbol of your sanctity, but a reminder of your defeat

[Bridge]
As you were nailed and killed
So were we nailed to gold
We live upon your cross
And bear this guilt for you
[Guitar solo]

[Hook 1]
How foolish can they be to worship such a king
Who was crowned and hung between two thieves

[Outro]
As you were nailed and killed
So were we nailed to gold
