The Nazarene

[Verse 1]
Nazarene
In the dark but desperate to be seen
Huffing enmity amphetamine
Until you're never coming clean

[Verse 2]
Your bantams wait
To gorge on bits that you regurgitate
A harpy's frenzy you can never sate
With only phantoms to eviscerate

[Chorus 1]
You wore your thorns, you were the lonely one
But you waged a war against your only son
You who would make a gift into a gun
Won't make a peace, this thing has just begun

[Refrain]
Won't make a peace, this thing has just begun

[Verse 3]
Quisling
Oh Brutus, oh, you Judas, of thee I sing
Me, who you accuse of the same thing
Who do you deem you're punishing?

[Chorus 2]
You bore your thorns, but you weren't the only one
And you waged a war against your holy son
You who would make a gift into a gun
Don't take the peace, this thing has just begun

[Refrain]
Don't take the peace, this thing has just begun
Don't take the peace, this thing has just begun
Don't take the peace, this thing has just begun
Don't take the peace, this thing has just begun

[Verse 4]
Bright cadet
He ain't seen the trenches yet
Or what's beyond the wire and I'll bet
This is as far as he will get
