Lyrics :
He knelt down to wash his face in a river in the land of the scorpions and the snakes. The merciless sun had burnt his skin.
His dirty hands were still shaking from what he had gone through as the glittering water was running down his bloody wrists.
Starring at his reflection he whispered, "why, oh lord?
Why do you put me to such a hard test?
I sacrificed all i had: my hope, my sanity, my goddamn life
And now you fucking let me down!"
And looking up to where the vultures fly, he desperately added,
"you know i am all yours!
Oh my lord, i am all yours!
This is my body which is
Broken for you.
This is the new covenant in my blood.
God, you taught me humility and promised me your kingdom...
Now i'm about to die.
I renounce this paradox for weakness will never be strength.
