Reluctant Messiah
Born in desolation, learning while alone.
Hatred numbed the mind of the Light, living in his own.
World of no forgiveness, indoctrinate the soul.
The masses called him a teacher, he chose to live alone.
Created for salvation, living for himself
Teaching best what you most need to learn for yourself.
These are things we all must learn for our self.
Wipe the sweat from my brow, pass the cup of sin.
I wasn't born with a will to lead, don't ask me cause I can see
Futures full of sickness I live this private Hell
To be the one all mankind is searching for to end this lie.
Created for salvation, living for himself
Teaching best what you most need to learn for yourself.
I was sworn no I was chosen to be
The Reluctant Messiah…
I wade through the stormy seas
A question, a lie, something that sets me free
To be the one that all mankind wants me to be
Reluctant Messiah he breathes in me.
Turn your back on the world crying out your name
Lost without forgiveness, prayers are plead, all in vain
Greed, insanity, I don't know what I should do
Blind the source, I ask myself, a since of impending doom.
Solo
Born in desolation, learning while alone.
Hatred numbed the mind of the Light, living in his own.
World of no forgiveness, indoctrinate the soul.
The masses called him a teacher, he chose to live alone.
Created for salvation, living for himself
Teaching best what you most need to learn for yourself.
These are things we all must learn for our self.
For 2000 years the world has waited for the return of the messiah and I am him
I wade through the stormy seas
A question, a lie, something that sets me free
To be the one that all mankind wants me to be
Reluctant Messiah he breathes in me.
