Crumbling from within

 The city lives in sin

 Seeking their demise

 Thousands take their lives

 

 They expected more

 Or couldn't heed the score

 Now they're after blood:

 The 'death-dealing' prophet

 

 Yesterday everyone adored him

 Today they thoroughly deplore him

 

 Only one option now remains

 Once again, someone must take the blame

 Dreaded fear, blind faith, selfishness

 Now you see: man's not ready yet

 

 Blood just flows and grows

 Deadly bogus hope

 Deeds breed nil aside

 Just newer sins n' crimes

 

 And somewhere he awaits his dark fate

 Knowing they'll surely find him one day

 

 Dreaded fear, blind faith, selfishness

 Now you see: man's not ready yet

 Once again, someone must take the blame

 Only one option now remains:

 A victim for the new redemption set

 Even though we're not worthy of it yet
