Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed And I have waited a long time for Your kiss Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me And so a fence I have built to protect the seed But all the bricks will secure its mortality I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace At the noted intention to be in place And I have seen that one man saved the human race But it took His life and it took His faith I have risen from ashes and fed on flames But even so I still fear I have played a game And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face He's been promising me something more than pain Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain And I have chosen because there is no other way I either wallow in shame Or humble myself and be saved And be saved
