39 Stripes

Lyrics

Accused, Convicted
For Blasphemy Of Proven Prophesy
A Pure, Perfect, Innocent Man
Insulted, Spit On, Humiliated
Pummeled, Fifty Four Hundred And Eighty Blows
Tied To A Stake And Scourged
Whipped, Flogged, Ripping The Flesh
Nerves And Bone Exposed
Dirty Robe Soaked In Blood
Placed On His Open Bleeding Wounds
Crown Of Thorns Pierced His Scalp
Laughed At, Mocking The King Of The Jews

All The Miracles And Dispossessions
All The Sicknesses That Attack Our Species
39 Stripes For Our Iniquities
Forty Minus One Lashes To Heal Us All
Forty Minus One Lashes To Heal Us All
39 Stripes, 39 Scars

Agonizing Death March To Golgotha
Via Delarosa
Laid Upon Splintered Wood
Nine Inch Nails Through The Wrists
Dislocated Shoulders
Another Hammered Nailed Through The Feet
Intermittent Asphyxiation
Still Shouting Forgiveness And Prophesy
A Grisly Miserable Torturing
Still Shouting Forgiveness And Prophesy
Pierced, Gave Up The Ghost
Infinite Victory Over Death

All The Miracles And Dispossessions
All The Sicknesses That Attack Our Species
39 Stripes For Our Iniquities
Forty Minus One Lashes To Heal Us All
Forty Minus One Lashes To Heal Us All
39 Lashes
39 Scars

Our Lives Given To Us For Free
A Gift Of Love
How Then Is It Hard To Believe
A Gift Of An Afterlife?
No Peace In Believing In Nothing After Death
All The Unexplained And Blame On Our Faith
A God Of Free Choice
Good Or Evil
Light Or Darkness
Hades Or Freedom
You Were Known And Loved Before You Existed
Would We Be Crucified For The Ones We Love?
You Were Known And Loved Before You Existed
Would We Be Crucified For The Ones We Love?
You Were Known And Loved Before You Existed
Would We Be Crucified For The Ones We Love?

All The Miracles And Dispossessions
All The Sicknesses That Attack Our Species
39 Stripes For Our Iniquities
Forty Minus One Lashes To Heal Us All
39 Stripes, 39 Scars, Healed
39 Lashes, 39 Scars, Healed For Us All!
