Could they not have know
What they have done
Sentenced the only pure thing left
That graces...the dirt on this earth to...death

Betrayal is an easy way out
And let a filthy tyrant...run free...
Had we have ever known that He'd still love us
After we turned our backs and left Him in the shadows

Where the sun still shines
As bright as a thousand torches
Open the gates, rip the blood-stained clothes from His back
Still He wore courage tightly wrapped around His neck

Marching to death...marching
Echoes through a God forsaken city cut like knives
Their words killed
I killed...you...

(I BUILT THIS TOWER FOR YOU! TOWER FOR YOU!)
You know love....and you know me
(THIS TOWER FOR YOU!)
The sharpened end of a blade brought safety

(I BUILT THIS TOWER FOR YOU! TOWER FOR YOU!)
Drenched in grace...you took the fall
(TOWER FOR YOU!)
Along with your life

Innocence dies today
And I'm not quite ready to leave here...you still saw me
Silent, motionless from the shadows
You carried me while we buried you...

(I BUILT THIS TOWER FOR YOU! THIS TOWER!
I BUILT THIS TOWER FOR YOU!)

You bleed love
True love...I found in you

OH, MY GOD! WHY'D YOU KILL HIM?
WE CRUCIFY HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT HE LOVED YOU?
BUT I'M COMIN' HOME CLEAN OF ALL THE THINGS YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ON ME

OH, MY GOD! WHY'D YOU KILL HIM?
(We crucify him over and over again!)
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT HE LOVED YOU?
BUT I'M COMIN' HOME CLEAN (Of all the dirt you thought you had on me)

THOUGHT YOU HAD!
