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
his small boy wonders, what was it all about?
is your journey over - has it just begun?
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
(i won't see your face)
man of sorrows, you left without a trace
his small boy wonders, what was it all about?
is your journey over - has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
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
(i won't see your face)
man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
his 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
(i won't see your face)
man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
his small boy wonders, what was it all about?
is your journey over - has it just begun?
has it just begun?
