So you can hear
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
Mocking your 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 novice 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
