Shai Linne Through My Eyes


Verse 1

I'm in the middle of a sticky situation- literally My blood's dripping to a sickening degree Who can speak of the agony? Legions attacking me Beaten and raggedy, weakened through battery With scraps of shrapnel in my back I'm slapped, trapped- as a pack of strapped jackals attack Ever look into the eyes of one who longs for your homicide? If it's your time to die, is it wrong to be traumatized? No urge to protect- curses burst from their breath They stress I'm worthless, worthy of death and furnaces From searching the text, they've perverted their steps (They) prefer to neglect their virtuous rep- their threats are murderous I'm viewed as unworthy- bruised and abused By bloodthirsty dudes who refuse to love mercy Perceiving through battered eyes a large crowd seething Who won't be satisfied until my heart stops beating

(Chorus 1)

Their eyes are telling me they want me dead Their hunger for my blood must be fed No one to intervene on my behalf No one should have to walk along this path

Verse 2

I'm frightened, scared like eyeing the hypest bear or lion I'm quite aware I'm dying- the sight is terrifying No breaks, no way to escape from the horror The weight of a hateful fate straight from the Torah Some of the guys beat me- broke up my nose One of my eyes completely closed from the blows Disrobed from my clothes- my shame is evident Beholding my foes' insane malevolence With hearts set on monstrous violence, pompous tyrants Got the go ahead from Pontius Pilate So now I'm a victim- a classic case of The implications of man's wicked imagination His bitter agitation and twisted fascination With assassinations through vivid lacerations And now for the epitome of true affliction Ladies and gentleman: welcome to my crucifixion


(Chorus 2)

Everything's moving in slow motion My tear's a stream, but my blood's an ocean I'm far beyond the point of acting tough The end can't come fast enough

Verse 3

The climax of my auditory horror story No need for me to explore the gory in my oratory Condemned by the high saddity deprived of pity Two others crucified with me outside the city Religious leadership offended by what I did there I'm surrendered, stripped bear- suspended in mid-air So everybody traveling the road to Jerusalem Can look at us and see what the Romans will do to them The shame of it- veins uncovered Terrain rugged- nothing explains the pain suffered Adequately, catastrophe as bad as can be As gradually my life passes from me Voices speaking blasphemously; subliminal Reality means the physical is minimal If you ask of me the principal? I'm getting what I deserve cause actually I'm a criminal

(Chorus 3)

It was the right verdict for my trial There's no more time to be in denial I'm trying to understand the illest riddle Who's this man next to me in the middle?

His gracious words help me really see Him "Lord, remember me when you get Your kingdom" And I'm astounded when Jesus replies "Today you'll be with me in paradise"
