More Than a Man

Someone whose absence leaves a void
A cheerless will in every heart
Each feels the bliss destroyed at all
And mourns the change that came at last

More than just a simple dream, more than a hope
More than a saviour...for all Mankind
It's hard to be what they need to see
One more time

"Between distress and pleasure
My life's fading away
I've tried to raise the veil
That made our faith so weak, so frail"

"I've always tried to bear this burden
hunted thoughts repressed just one more time
the fire in my heart still burning
in the name of the Father I won't die!
Remember me, when I'll be crucified

There were times I couldn't hide
There were times when this was so drear
When my soul forgot its pride
And longed for one to set it free"

More than just a simple man, more than a name
More than the way to Eden for us all
It's hard to be what they need to see
One more time

"Between distress and pleasure
My life's fading away
I've tried to raise the veil
That made our faith so weak, so frail"

A fearful anguish in his eyes
Fixed strainly on the vacant air
Heavily bursts in long-drawn sighs
His panting breath, enchained by fear (I won't die)
The ancient past is now closer again (Crucified)

More than a man
They want to see a king
More than a dream
My God will pray because my life
Won't be spent in vain

I've tried to raise the veil
I've tried to raise the veil
And I believe in you
I won't die
And I believe in you

Exhaling my last breath
I will rest in the sleep of death
Some weak whispers till the end
Then I'll lay on desert sand
Now I'm on my way
The sun's darkening once again
But I won't be back!

Idolized, Sanctified
My words still remain
Idolized, Sanctified...

Sacrificed, Crucified
In vain I've always tried
Sacrificed, Crucified...
