I killed a man Who did nothing to deserve it Put the nails in His hands Like my fathers did before me Yes, I killed a man Crucify, let Him die Don't give Him mercy (Shouting with the Pharisees) Don't set Him free We don't need His kind of teaching (He's messing with our scheme of things) How dare He go against tradition He is causing too much tension We demand His termination Let Him die! I killed a man Who did nothing to deserve it Put the nails in His hands Like my fathers did before me Yes, I killed a man But He rose again! Here I am, I'm your man I can't deny it (I'm the one you're looking for) Given up, had enough It's time to face it (Can't take this guilt no more) The sins of my unrighteous walk Are washed away upon the Cross My weakness has brought quite a loss A King is dead I killed a man Who did nothing to deserve it Put the nails in His hands Like my fathers did before me Yes, I killed a man But He rose again Yes, I killed a man
