Letra de «Nailed»
I’ve been working for my whole life to get to the other side
And try to achieve true righteousness
All the scourges and whips I cracked
The flesh I ripped off my back
It only led me to emptiness
Here I am, a broken man who’s done all that a man could do And found that it’s only filthy rags Monasteries, religious schools, indulgences, laws and rules It all added up to nothing and darkness and death Vanity, Heartache, and emptiness Efforts all fading away The flesh and defeat that it brings ‘Till You guide me and show me things That my eyes have never seen before As I burst forth from the belly of the beast Never fight it anymore For the burden on my life has been released Nail it to the door
Nailed these ninety-five things I’ve learned They’ll say that I must be burned For God has no place for heretics All the things that they try to sell It’s trickery straight from Hell To turn it into a den of thieves
See these madmen peddling the wares of dead men’s souls Collecting on a debt already paid so long ago There’s fire in my spirit, and fire in their eyes For now they’ll want to burn me alive Yet freedom rings Unworthiness is all I bring The blood of Christ is all I claim This grace revealed everything That my eyes have never seen before As I burst forth from the belly of the beast Never fight it anymore For the burden on my life has been released Nail it to the door
