Sulla traversa ( On the Cross )

You came to be an ordinary Man.
To feel my pain and share my wine 
and die for all the sins that are mine.

From a humble birth through a modest life
you walked in the light of the things that we're right.
You led the way then as you lead it today.

Do they follow? That answer I shall not say.

The world is dark and filled with pain
your children are hurting as the evil rains
They cower and shake and embrace their "fates"
forgetting their freedom is only as real as their faith.

Belief is gone, both the weak and the strong 
have no essence, no care, the greed has won.

The evil reigns supreme in this world now.
I fear that soon what you died for will all be gone......how?

I wonder why..........
Why it is they cant remember why you came here before?
Why they wept as the strikes bled you dry on the floor?
Why they cried as you sacrified and took their place
when they were too weak to embrace their own miserable fates?

I wonder if.......
If maybe they dont understand your love.
If maybe their faith is lost in God up above.

I wonder when....
When you will come here and be a man once again
and make things better and answer all our prayers.

I am one just like them and I cant understand.
I am weak but like I said......I am only a man.

I try to be steadfast and pray but i only slip.
I rise in the name of Christ but fall in the name of sin.

In my tears i see the reflection of a selfish being.
I want it all and that desire is what willl shatter it all from within.

I fear unless you die once again on the cross............
Your children will push your sacrifice to a loss.

My faith in God is as solid as a Rock.
But my faith in Man is honestly not.....

God save us !
