Manic Messiah
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Show me the road to Calvary
I'll show you the cross where I died
I scream life is for ever if you follow me
Anything else is a lie
Ahh heavenly
Show me the tomb where my body lay
The stone that rolled away
Walk in the garden of Gethsemane
Mary don't run Mary don't run
Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise
I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you
Here are the nails and my crown of thorns
That caused me so much pain
If I'm not the one who can save them all
Tell me did I die in vain
Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise
I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you
Ahh heavenly
The wind that sweeps over the desert sands
The evil that blacks out the sun
The eyes of the blind fall on foreign lands
Pray for the daylight pray for the day
