There was a man from Allentown

Who fed his son to death

He calmly watched him gorge himself

Until his final breath

And there he stood surprised and shocked

Above his tiny frame

He said "I bear no blame for this;

I only share his name "

There was a man from Nazareth

The fools at war pervert

They forged an image of his flesh

To brand on mugs and t-shirts

They say one day he'll spring to life

To smile and clear your name

So nail yourself upon the cross

And hang your head in shame

Forever

This is forever

This is forever

This is forever

This is forever
