The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail Lyrics
Mansun
The cup that caught your blood was stained
Destroyed, taken away, away
Your likeness hidden from the crowd
Who cried only in shame, in shame
And he claimed to be messiah
And his lies were thinly veiled
Born without a human father
Jesus saves...
(he saves for us) youre playing God for just one minute
(he saves for us) let fame legitimise your face
(he saves for us) youre playing God for just one day
You gave holy blood to spare,
You said, holy fake, holy fake
Fake messiahs in the place
Ouija board and snakes, and snakes
