| The Silver Jesus Killing Machine Dead man awakes and says the grounds the same as every other day Nothing has changed, not since when I was born `til I came to this grave The silver man he comes, to shoot us with his gun The silver man he comes to take us from here Show me you love, Show me the things that you’ve been dreaming of Give me a sign, Give me a clue to what you seek to find A man speaks secretly inside he tells me who to take with me He’ll save our hearts he says our souls full of impurities The silver man he comes, there will nothing when he’s done The silver man he comes to take us from here Show me you love, Show me the things that you’ve been dreaming of Give me a sign, Give me a clue to what you seek to find Are you going to kiss my heroes And fail my dreams goodbye I slipped into the shape of fear To prove that I still try |
| Song Background As with most religious stories (being an atheist who's read up on several other religions) I've read and converted several into my own interpretations. This one coming from the Judgement Day, when Jesus comes back to rise with his followers to heaven. Only in this telling Jesus comes down with a gun as a the killing machine with silver gun. All he asks in exchange for your life is a show of love and the want to find it. -Brian- |
