Do You Know This Man? Songtext
von 1000 Generations

He called his friends in to gather for dinner one last time
He said, "One of you will betray me and that of which is not mine"
So before they ate, he told this
Certain guest that he could be excused
And while the rest of them prayed, an offer
Was made that just could not be refused

When he broke the bread, he said, "This is
My body, which has been given up for you"
And when he poured the wine, he said, "This is the
Divine blood of life that′s everlasting and new"
And after the feast, when man sleeps 'cause the flesh
Is weak, he said, "Rise! My betrayer′s at hand!"
And the soldiers came and they took him away just like it was planned

Do you know this man?
Do you know this man?
Have you let in the love that poured from his hands?
Do you know this man?
Do you know this man?


When they beat him, he stood alone
Even his friends had fled
'Cause they feared for their lives, they even told lies
"We don't know that guy," they said
And when they took him to the judge, and he
Announced that he′s done no wrong to condemn
And the people, they yelled and threatened to rebel
Only his life would silence them

Do you know this man?
Do you know this man?
Have you let in the love that poured from his hands?
Do you know this man?
Do you know this man?

They tore off his clothes and whipped him to the bone
And beat a thorn crown in his head
Then they took this man and drove nails in his hands
With one last breath, he cried
But the only reason that he died
Was for our lies, our greed, our egos that we feed
And our mouths, our sex, our pride, and our complex
Our rage, our hate, to forgive and consecrate
The ultimate price was paid
But it′s never too late


For you to know this man
Do you know this man?
Have you let in the love that still pours from his hands?
Do you know this man?
Do you know?
Do you know this man?
