These pale and bloody blues
there's something wrong with you
hidden in the justice
disguised as the essence
You seem to be operating
under deceit
that vengeance is necessary
no wonder why
you use the cross
to mean anything but
capital punishment
Jesus didn't die from cancer
I said
Jesus didn't die from cancer
and I see red
Now as for the white
you've already decided
you're one of the good guys
just one of the good guys!
Well, it seems that you
didn't listen in Sunday school
because there's one thing
that you cannot use the cross to prove
you can't use it to prove
that you're one of the good guys
Every puritan
got a secret to hide
you got a secret side
no wonder why
you use the cross
to mean anything but
capital punishment
Jesus didn't die from cancer
I said
Jesus didn't die from cancer
and I see red
These pale, these bloody blues
pale and bloody blues
all I see in you
no stars no white no blue
dark no white no blue
all I see in you is
red
I see red
I see a dragon fiery red
when I said
"Vengeance is not the essence of justice. Mercy is."
