Could they not have known what they have done?
Sentenced the only pure Thing left
That graces the dirt on this earth to death

Betrayal is an easy way out
And let a filthy tyrant run free
Had we have ever known that He'd still love us
After we turned our backs
And left Him in the shadows?

Where the sun still shines
As bright as a thousand torches
Open the gate, rip the blood stained
clothes from His back
Still He wore courage
Tightly wrapped around his neck

Marching to death, marching.
Echoes through a God forsaken
City cut like knives
Their words killed; I killed you

("I built this tower for you,
This tower for you, this tower for you.
I built this tower for you,
This tower for you, this tower for you.")

You know love and you know me
The sharpened end of a blade brought safety
Drenched in grace, You took the fall along with your life

Where the sun still shines
As bright as a thousand torches
Open the gate, rip the blood stained
clothes from His back
Still He wore courage
Tightly wrapped around his neck

("I built this tower for you,
This tower for you, this tower for you.
I built this tower for you,
This tower for you, this tower for you.")

You know love and you know me
The sharpened end of a blade brought safety
Drenched in grace, You took the fall along with your life

Innocence dies today,
And I'm quite ready to leave here.
You still saw me, as I lay motionless from the shadows.
You carried me while we buried you...

(I built this tower for you, this tower,
I built this tower for you)

You bleed love,
true love I found in you

Oh my God, why'd You kill him?
We crucify him over and over again!!
Don't you know that He loved you?
But I'm coming home,
clean of all the dirt you thought you had on me.
