lyrics

Your life is a cut up story
You've had a distant life
No one close to you
And you will never know
What would have happened
If things had been different

The cold play within your heart
The sudden touch of your fingers on my skin
The words written on your back
I'll never reach you but I pretend to feel

There are several stories
Mixed up inside of you
You'll have to sort it all out
We won't be there to help
There's no easy way to go
And you are all alone

The way they handle the truth
Fills me with disgust for the ones that pretend they rule
I can't support this idiocraty
They should consider me an enemy of their state

I am the Empty Christ
My conscience full of lies
Pain is my emotion
Why should I ever care

I am the Empty Christ
The ruler of this world
We are millions
Indifferent and dead

Those feelings do not match
Your actions contradict
That behaviour isn't right
Your isolated mind
Has already cracked
The only way is out

My mother always said to me
That my invisibility is only in my own head
Everyone outside can see me
The face I try to hide right behind my mask

Your medications will not help
This sickness isn't cured
Everyday will be the same
And you will soon find out
Nothing will sedate
The pain that you call life

The cold soul of my heart
Something I could never understand or feel
I am free from consciousness
All those tattoed letters will remain unread by me

I am the Empty Christ
My conscience full of lies
Pain is my emotion
Why should I ever care

I am the Empty Christ
The ruler of this world
We are millions
Indifferent and dead

And when the morning comes
The darkness float away
The things I've done remain
And nothing can be changed

And everyday is all the same
I try to forget each night
Why am I trapped in this void
I don't understand

You got something I need
You must give it to me now
You got emotions that I need
You must give it to me now

I must have your sensibility
I need to understand the world
I must have your compassion
I need your love right now

I am the Empty Christ
The lethargic lord of lies
Let the people come to me
and feel my pain

I am the Empty Christ
The lord of indifference
My abscent conscience
Will set the world aflame

I am the Empty Christ
The shepard without sheep
I reap what others sowed
My kingdom falls every day

I am the Empty Christ
I will throw that first rock
There is no salvation
I'll just save myself

I am the Empty Christ
The ruler of this world
There are millions like me
We're indifferent and dead

I am the Empty Christ
My conscience's got zero weight
I pass my pain to others
And I transfer death
