Corpus Christi lyrics
by Billie Joe Armstrong
[Verse 1]
In the beginning there was a void except for the written word
I was born in such foolish times, my guilt is guaranteed
Now I don't want to burn in Hell, John told me that I would
Unless I went down to the water, my sins purged in his holy blood
[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
[Verse 2]
Now I've got my bleeding heart, and I wear my crown of thorns
And argue with the old men about the tapestry was torn
I've got to sacrifice my ego, it's such a small price to pay, I'm
Waiting for the resurrection, gonna find out what Christ would say
[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
