Father why hath thee forsaken me And cast me down in the depths of misery Why must I carry the burden of this daunting cross Why must I be held responsible for this loss Why is it my duty to save the world from it's Sin Why must I have thorns dig so deep in my skin. The pain of the cross and the burden of man Why is it me in demand? As I receiveΒ Β lashes, over and over without rest While I walk Through the scolding sand deflating my chest The burden of the cross grows heavier with each single stride How am I suppose to guide And now I'm at the end of this terrible path Perched up on the cross for wandering eyes to stare and laugh. But it's not done, they finish me with a spear Please father isn't their anything you wish me to hear As I was waiting to die, bewildered and bonded The skies opened up And god responded "Oh Child, your burden is merely a physical one And once it's past, you'll cure their curse my son As your penance will strip the evil from their souls But it's them that must bear the tolls It's them that will live with the grief That one of them embraced the burden of the belief. So the others can be free It's them that will struggle with humanity. And in their minds you'll constantly be there To remind them of the physical burden you had to care But the burden of being a virtuous man Is upon them and the rest of their clan They must live, knowing they're flawed To constantly fall short of the glory of god Yes, the passion to suffer was dedicated to your deed But the burden of the cross is their to heed"
