Here in a church a small boy is kneeling

He prays to a god he does not know he cannot feel

All of his sins of childhood he will remember

He will not cry tears he will not cry

Man of sorrows I won't see your face

Man of sorrows you left without a trace

A small boy wonders what was it all about

Is your journey over - has it just begun

A vision of a new world from the ashes of the old

"Do what thou wilt " he screams from his cursed soul

A tortured seer a prophet of our emptiness

Wondering why wondering why

Man of sorrows I won't see your face

Man of sorrows you left without a trace

A small boy wonders what was it all about

Is your journey over - has it just begun

A man of sorrows racked with thoughts that dare not

Speak their name

Trapped inside a body made to feel only guilt and shame

His anger all his life -"I hate myself " he cried

"Do what thou wilt - do what thou wilt " he cried

Man of sorrows I won't see your face

Man of sorrows you left without a trace

A small boy wonders what was it all about

Is your journey over - has it just begun

Man of sorrows I won't see your face

Man of sorrows you left without a trace

A small boy wonders what was it all about

Is your journey over - has it just begun
