Via Dolorosa Songtext

von Libitina

Now we see with jaundiced eyes,
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost,
The rest we have kept at too great a cost.

We have walked our via dolorosa,
Borne our crosses, suffered your taunts,
The payback for your scorn grows closer...
Why should we who have seen Golgotha
Take the hands you pleadingly proffer?

Now we see with jaundiced eyes,
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost,
The rest we have kept at too great a cost.

Then the pain of your whip our lips did sing
And it did seem the end of everything,
But we have licked our wounds, bided our time,
And soon we'll return a payment in kind.

Now we see with jaundiced eyes,
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost,
The rest we have kept at too great a cost.

Like the phoenix, fiery we rise,
As Lazarus from the grave, so we live again,
Returned from Hades, we won't look back...
What does not kill us makes us stronger
And you cannot harm us any longer.

Now we see with jaundiced eyes,
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost,
The rest we have kept at too great a cost
