| Could they not have known 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; this tower for you; this tower for you)
|
| You know love, and you know me.
|
| The sharpened end of a blade brought safety.
|
| (I built this tower for you; this tower for you; this tower for you)
|
| Drenched in grace, you took the fall,
|
| Along with your life!

|
| Drenched in grace, you took the fall,
|
| Along with your life…
|
| Innocence dies today, and I’m quite read to leave here.
|
| You still saw me, as I lay 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 coming home, clean of all the dirt you thought you had on me. |
