Calvary from RIDE by Blake

Calvary

Walk the road to Calvary
Take up your cross
On the road to Calvary
Misery and loss
Stumbling on the stony ground
And your faith is gone
Feel the darkness falling down
With the setting sun

All of our pain you will know
All of our hate letting go
On Calvary, on Calvary

Breaking bones and workshop sounds
Hammering your wrists
And the choking blood runs down
As your body twists
When they raise you from the ground
Takes your breath away
And you’re looking all around
But you’re alone today

All of our pain you will know
All of our hate letting go
On Calvary, on Calvary

Shouting out your final sounds
As you’re set adrift
They steal your clothes
And pull you down
It’s the graveyard shift
Another homeless drifter gone
Another life misled
Weren’t they the ones who sang those songs
Let the dead bury the dead

All of our pain you will know
All of our shame is on show
On Calvary, on Calvary
