Gethsemane Songtext
von Necare

Scourged with whips and thorn crown
Bear your cross on the Way of Sorrows
On this narrow street, your people leer and spit
Rome condemns you; the gods condemn you
Stripped naked and bound with rope and iron
Christendom dies with you on this hill in Judea
And is reborn, crawling through the
Calvary filth like flies on carrion


Te Te Melchizak, your kingdom come
Son of Mary, we share the cup of struggle and betrayal
For your beloved of Earth revile me
They tear the flesh of my palms in deposition
And excoriate me without succour at the pillar of your church
Their baleful assurances have become for me a coitus
Where my body is bloodied and my frail form broken
They have paved my path to Golgotha with usury and deceit

In Heaven, as on Earth
Salvation is famine and faith a hateful diadem
I await revealing beneath a mantle of heavenly silence
And to silence I shall return
They raise their nails to my wrists and cast lots for my worth
In their eyes, I am the apostate
They bring the judgement of Caiaphas and the mockery of Pilate
They cast their derision, their damnation as a spear into my side
And in a lifetime′s anguish, it is accomplished
