Lyrics for Crucifiction Land
You better listen, anybody 'Cause I'm gonna make it clear That my life is unimportant What I've done I did through fear There's a river running through me On its tide I tried to hide Nonetheless I could not shake it And in the end, it swept aside All my feeble unimportance I can't say it, never mind Can't you hear me, mother, calling you? I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind And if only 'cause you're lucky We both know that's no find I did think I'd be an actor What I am I'll leave behind You better listen, anybody 'Cause it's me and you, that's it And in case you find your Maker Perhaps you'll plead for us a bit All my sick is in my stomach All my sweat is clearly fear And if you could see inside me I don't think you'd have me here Tell the helmsman, "Veer to starboard" Bring this ship around to port And if the sea was not so salty I could sink instead of walk And in case of passing strangers Who are standing where I fell Tell the truth, you never knew me And in truth it's just as well
