If you want to lie to me, if you want to lie to me
And tell me everything you think you read just to get inside my head
I’ve got to tell you, I don’t think the wars you wage
Are ready for your battles to be won
And if this call for redemption is your attempt at attention
To make me get out of my seat I’d rather lie down in the street
And if you think you’re clever, let me tell you never
Never will you be a savior…or a king
Cause I for one have already found my way
And it feels so right
And I for one have nothing left to say
And it feels so right
Cause I, I live and die for the one who payed the price
And it feels so right
So why would you go on and lie when you knew all along
I live my life for one
Stand up and walk out, stand up and walk out on me
if every action you perform doesn’t contradict what you believe
cause the stones you throw, I know, you know
are weaker than the words you use to denounce Him from His throne.
Tell me I’m wrong and you traditions will prove it so
But aren’t these the gods He spoke of in the stones
When He said so long ago to put your rituals aside
Are you telling me He’s wrong, are you telling me He lied
Chorus
So go on and die thief, tell your friends goodbye thief
While you stumble drunken down the roads you paved with empty souls
Or come home and cry thief when you realize thief
You and me can settle our debts on streets of solid gold
Maybe I’m worthless to you and mean nothing
But nothing’s what you’ll be if you don’t heed the words I speak
Cause I’ve skipped ahead to the end and believe me my friend
The seals that they speak of are going to make you turn your head
Cause I for one have already found my way
And it feels so right
And I for one have nothing left to say
And it feels so right
Cause I, I live and die for the one who payed the price
And it feels so right
So why would you go on and lie when you knew all along
I live my life for one
