We are mortal like the Son on the cross
No attainment of divine
I am conscious of a fear I can't name
Spreads like mist and grips my heart like iron

I faced the sun
So I'd miss the shadow behind me
Silence
Still I forced myself to look in me
Deny it all
I wasn't ready to face
Whatever the fuck I found

Were not as pure as we hope we are
We're all stained and struggling to contain

We are mortal
Like the son on the cross
No attainment of divine
I am conscious of a fear I can't name
Spreads like mist and grips my heart like iron

Betrayal of the soul
Now there's nothing left to protect me
Suffer, behind a face where evil and good look the same
I'm weak
Is this my moment of fate, a war that's raging

The horror
The devastation that lies behind my skin
God created this as well

I own the power
Born from truth and ill show you
I own the power
Born from truth and ill show you

Were not as pure as we hope we are
Were all stained and struggling to contain

We are mortal like the son on the cross
No attainment of divine
I am conscious of a fear I can't name
Spreads like mist and grips my heart like iron

I have been given the mind of Christ as have we all
Cling to the light
Hold it precious
For the three poisons will ruin and destroy you
If you allow
