Terra Incognita  

Someone Must Take
the Blame

 

... Photos of the 'Death-Dealing Prophet' are shown on television. The authorities are searching for him everywhere. Everyone has turned away from him. I haven't seen him for days. He's probably waiting for his fate somewhere. He definitely won't hide, because he's not guilty; at worst, he's a scapegoat. There always has to be a sinner who suffers for all men. This isn't the first time... And the feeling of guilt ever-increasingly overcomes me too; I should have kept the secret... In the nightly news, they report that they've found the "prophet". I see his harrowed face, and I immediately set off to help. But they won't let me near him at the police station, regardless of how I plead. They treat him as a murderer, yet I know he simply can't be, and I feel that he really needs me now...

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
