Burning Cross

You know about the one And they carry the burning cross They never paid for their sins Until they waved their children goodbye The man that they blamed Was someone that they've already judged All the way to the graveyard The sirens call out their names Gaze upon, gaze upon Gaze upon, gaze upon Jesus Christ, Jesus died Only one thing left to do But to turn over to distant blue A stranger terrorized And strangled and beaten to death Open, bruised now, bleeding on No ways to stop it all Raped and brutally internally slaughtered Cries for help did nothing at all Gaze upon, gaze upon Gaze upon, gaze upon Jesus Christ, Jesus died All this time I was Christ And blind over the years Now they've wandered through this barren place Each footstep like a distant cry The names suit their faces But their faces have no name Oh, burn Don't take me over Don't kill what's left of me Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
