Текст песни Iced Earth - Crucify the King

The Crucible of Man (Something Wicked, part 2) - 2008

Look at you now, exalted no more
Scorging’s left your blood soaked into the floor
For having the sight you will pay a heavy price
Martyr for mankind, contrived sacrifice

Let all your children pray
You’ve washed their sins away
I’ll bring the suffering
Let all your children pray
I don’t come their way
I’ll crucify the king

Look at you now, you pathetic little man
With spear I pierce your hide, destiny in my hand
For all mine have lost your fate will intertwine
Your death will polarize, resurrection will divide

Let all your children pray
You’ve washed their sins away
I’ll bring the suffering
Let all your children pray
I don’t come their way
I’ll crucify the king

Like all false seers, you’re formed to fit the plan
Unsuspecting pawns to the detriment of man
And as your worlds collide
War will bring the suffering
And to that end I’ll crucify
I’ll crucify the king

Let all your children pray
You’ve washed their sins away
I’ll bring the suffering
Let all your children pray
I don’t come their way
I’ll crucify the king
