I wrote every note that you sung Fought every battle you won But I＇m pulling out the nails Of the cross you nailed me too Because I＇ll no longer be your shadow You didn＇t do this alone And it＇s time you should know I turned your bricks into a wall I built the throne where you sat tall I let them praise you like messiah While I wore your crown of thorns I turned your bricks into a wall I built the throne where you sat tall I let them praise you like messiah
While I wore your crown of thorns
You said the words but I wrote the poem Enjoyed the warmth but I built the home
But the grave that you dug Wasn＇t deep enough for me Now you wanna cast me aside
Well hey it＇s an eye for an eye
And I won＇t be crucified
I turned your bricks into a wall
I built the throne where you sat tall
I let them praise you like messiah
While I wore your crown of thorns
I turned your bricks into a wall
I built the throne where you sat tall
I let them praise you like messiah
While I wore your crown of thorns
No more quiet woman behind her man Waiting to correct another one of his mistakes
An anonymous goddess behind her god Parting the waters of the world before it gets too late Well do you hear my gospel that you can＇t have You can write it yourself because mine＇s not yours to take
This time' this time' this time
I turned your bricks into a wall I built the throne where you sat tall I let them praise you like messiah While I wore your crown of thorns I turned your bricks into a wall I built the throne where you sat tall
I let them praise you like messiah While I wore your crown of thorns
I turned your bricks into a wall I built the throne where you sat tall I let them praise you like messiah While I wore your crown of thorns I turned your bricks into a wall
I built the throne where you sat tall
I let them praise you like messiah While I wore your crown I let them praise you like messiah
While I wore your crown
