Testo Barabbas - Poetic Lace
Testo della canzone Barabbas (Poetic Lace), tratta dall'album Out With The Old
I am that guy who is extremely blessed
And does not deserve it
And when you realize you don't deserve it
You find the need to vocalize it
Here's my story
That could've been me
That could've been me
Beaten bloody nailed to a tree
My God that should've been me
That should've been me
Why wasn't it me
An innocent man was charged my fee
He took the lashes that was meant for me
Hi
My name's Barabbas
I'm what many would call a sin addict
I murdered a few and led a rebellion
Notorious in prison amongst these felons
But hey
Today's the big day
A large crowd of people will decide if I stay
Or go home
And condone
I live on
My works in my zone were not wrong
But anyways I'm being led to the front
I see another guy in chains but let me be blunt
His face is bruised
His eyes are blacked
His clothes are torn
His skin is cracked
But listen close Pilate's about to speak
It's going to be information on the harvest we reap
So, who's it going to be
Barabbas or The King of the Jews
Barabbas Barabbas Barabbas
Well what about the King of the Jews
Crucify Him Crucify Him Crucify Him
Scourge Him with a whip of many thorns
Yes The crowd has spoken
Time to take theses chains off
Give the people their token
But wait
They're not celebrating my release
I thought they would embrace me at the very least
It's time later and Jesus
The King of the Jews
Is being scourged
The beating is so bad
You can hear His blood cry through Jerusalem
Okay
Let's fast forward a little more
We're here at Calvary but it feels like Gomorrah
Wicked Romans are laughing
While Pharisees are mocking
Righteous women are crying
But that don't mean it's stopping
A trail of blood leads me to His cross
The sight is so bad that my strength gets lost
He's spread wide with nails in hands and feet
I can't even recognize Him as a human being
Blood drippin
People trippin
They're rolling dice for his clothes, straight flippin
Above His naked body is an interesting inscription
The King of the Jews says the description
It's time to go
Jesus is dead cause He ain't breathing no more
I feel strange as I walk behind the cross
I look up now my words are lost
The inscription on the back says Barabbas
So you tellin' me that's suppose to be Barabbas
Beaten
Bloody
Nailed to this tree
My God
He died for me
I was selfish
I was wrong
Deep in hell is where I really belong
But the blood of Jesus Christ saved my life
Even though I was Judas with the knife
That could've been me
That should've been me
An innocent man was charged my fee
He took the lashes that was meant for me
Father
Please forgive me of all my sins and my iniquity
Create in me a clean heart O' God
Renew a steadfast spirit within mE
Cleanse me with Your hyssop
So that I may be holy and pleasing unto You
Amen
