[Judith - written by Maynard on his mother's unwavering faith in the face of cancer]
JUDITH (by A Perfect Circle) | JUDAS (by diane, rewrite for OMF) |
You're such an inspiration for the ways | You're such an inspiration in the ways |
That I will never ever choose to be | that I could never even dream to be |
Oh so many ways for me to show you | Oh so many ways for me to show You |
How the savior has abandoned you | How the people have abandoned You |
Fuck your God | Call your God |
Your Lord and your Christ | My Lord, oh Christ. |
He did this | They did this |
Took all you had and | Took all You had and |
Left you this way. | Left You this way. |
Still you pray, you never stray | Still You pray, You never stray |
Never taste of the fruit | Never taste of the fruit |
You never thought to question why | You never thought to question why |
It's not like you killed someone | It's not like I've killed someone |
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side | it's not like I'd dare to be the one to leave Your side |
Praise the one who left you | Christ! One act of love and |
Broken down and paralyzed | I'm forever vilified! |
He did it all for you | I did it all for You.... |
He did it all for you | I said I'd follow through |
Oh so many many ways for me to show you | Oh so many other ways for me to know You. |
How your dogma has abandoned you | Choose another to abandon you... |
Pray to your Christ, to your god | Pray for my soul, to Your God |
Never taste of the fruit | Never taste of the fruit |
Never stray, never break | I'd never stray, never break |
Never---choke on a lie | Never---break from the pack |
Even though he's the one who did this to you | and because i'm the one to do this to You |
You never thought to question why | I'll be gone before You're back... |
Not like you killed someone | "Not like I killed someone |
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side | It's not like I drove a spiteful spear into His side |
Talk to Jesus Christ | Talk to Jesus Christ, |
As if he knows the reasons why | I'm sure He's got His reasons why" |
He did it all for you | I swore I'd see it through.. |
(Did it all for you) | (Did it all for You) |
He did it all for you.. | I took the fall for You... |
