Self-Fulfilling Prophets Lyrics & Tabs by Painful Reminder
Self-Fulfilling Prophets
guitar chords lyrics
Once there was a pagan
A pagan, pagan, pagan,
Who lived out his beliefs without a bit of shame
He'd say to all who asked him, who saw the symbol 'round his neck
That he was what he was and not to blame
And people would deplore him, despise and abhor him,
Because of fairy tales and ancient lies
They burned him at a stake made out of ignorant suspicion
And left his reputation there to die
And left his reputation there to die
He then felt that his religion made him the target of persecution
So he burned down all his bridges in a sacred fire
And let his self-doubts quietly retire, singing oh so cursed am I
Whoah, singing oh so cursed am I
Once there was a christian
And let his self-doubts quietly retire, singing oh so cursed am I
Whoah, singing oh so cursed am I
Once there was a christian
A christian, christian, christian,
Who lived out his beliefs without a bit of shame
He'd say to all who asked him, who saw the symbol 'round his neck
That he was what he was and not to blame
And people would deplore him, despise and abhor him,
Because of christians he had never met
They nailed him to a cross made out of prejudiced rejection
And left his reputation there to die
And left his reputation there to die
He then felt that his religion made him the target of persecution
So he burned down all his bridges in a holy fire
And let his self-doubts quietly retire, singing oh so blessed am I
Whoah, singing oh so blessed am I
They felt that their religions made them the targets of persecution
So they burned down all their bridges in a sacred fire
And let their self-doubts quietly retire, singing oh so cursed are we
Whoah, singing oh so cursed are we
Whoah, singing oh so cursed are we
Whoah, singing oh so blessed are...
