Man of Sorrow
Darkness surrounds you like a mantle
We near you in procession with candles
Lightening lightens up the sky briefly
Exposing your bloody thorns, so kingly
(Chorus)
Man of sorrow, I will follow
Bearer of grief, you know this hollow
Heart
You felt the horror of loss
The day you died without God
On the hill of the skull
Limbs nailed down by evil
(Pre-Chorus)
Then the plunge into the abyss of death
You buried our despair in your sacred flesh
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Left in the open, alone and rejected
Betrayed by friends and subjeced
To an unfair execution
The politicians and priests conspired
You were set up at an illegal trial
And declared anathema
