Upon Deaf Ears

I've paid for Judas
Silver and scarlet
Why must I suffer from mankind's sins?
I ponder sadly underneath greying skies
Hopes and dreams past conjured
That fade with time

I seldom whisper prayers in the yearning twilight
Yet they fall upon deaf ears

How could I kneel to a ghost of centuries past?
Shut my eyes upon the crucifix
I rip Christ from my heart

Your blood ran red
What's gone is dead
May your "sacrifice" be forgotten with time
