So you can heal They claim with conviction You've got a crowd So, what's your appeal? Your voice, your predictions They're getting loud But if I let you die You must forgive me Raise me up Up through the ashes (Welcome the paradise you made) Take me on Into the light You want to die Create a sensation Be making the news An eye for an eye My king of creation King of the Jews Before I let you die You must forgive me Raise me up Up through the ashes (Welcome the paradise you made) Take me on Into the light Give me sign of remorse (I don't need your blood) You will hang on the cross For playing god You, the people, must decide The self-proclaimed prophet Or the novice murderer The king or the convict It's up to you So tell me Who's free to go? (Barabbas, Barabbas, Barabbas) Raise me up Up through the ashes (Forgive my every sin) Take me on Into the light
