I live inside this killing machine
Surrounded by it's destiny
Swimming in this human disease
Pulling me down can you feel it
A Christian thrust a thorn in my side
Emptied his pockets as a whore walked by
Who'll bare this cross for those who don't believe
Like Jesus Christ who tried to set us free
Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die
The children stare with fear in their eyes
I can't deny their yearning cries
I turn my back as I pretend not to see
They're calling me now, can you hear them
I have the fever now can I transcend
I need an exit, have to she'd my skin
Nothing lo lose, I have nothing to gain
The fear of living can't ease my pain
Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die
Mother can you hear me
Father can you heal me
Christ can you ease my pain
A curse that was bequeathed in my name
Through eyes of desperate men
And I'm the same when all is lost
Why do we still look for blame
It's all our own fault can you see
Can't turn my back on you
I can't close my eyes
Can't feel this shame
Can't buy these killing lies
Can't fight the instinct 'cause I know what I am
Killing machine can it be
Something in the wind
Did you come
To lay your hands upon me
Something in your eyes
Did I leave my soul behind
I won't go back again
Not till I feel it
Not till I find what's happened to me
Who'll bare the cross
For those burning hearts that never die
Mother can you hear me
Father can you heal me
Christ can you ease my pain
