Broken Cross Lyrics by Architects

Live at The Royal Albert Hall

2014

[Intro]
God only knows why we were born to burn, oh!

[Verse]
If God is my witness, He'll see that all is not well
Christ, what a sight for sore eyes
Looking down on us, all the children that You despise
God only knows why we were born to burn, oh!
God only knows why we were born to burn
A bullet in the neck doesn't feel much like love
A message of rejection sent from above
No flags, no holy books
I'll be in Hell with the misunderstood

[Chorus]
The sons and daughters that You wished to forget
A desperate picture of God's regret
Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck-ups?
One thing's for sure, He doesn't fucking love us, blegh!
He doesn't fucking love us

[Bridge]
Hate must weigh on you like a broken cross
Hate; the dividing line we'll never step across
Outcast and reject, outcast and reject
Father, Father, how I've let you down
A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown
Father, Father, how I've let you down
A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown

[Chorus]
The sons and daughters that You wished to forget
A desperate picture of God's regret
Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck-ups?
One thing's for sure, He doesn't fucking love us
He doesn't fucking love us, blegh!
He doesn't fucking love us
