Libitina – Via Dolorosa lyrics

Now we see with jaundiced eyes
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost
The rest we have kept at too great a cost

We have walked our via dolorosa
Borne our crosses
Suffered your taunts
The payback for your scorn grows closer...
Why should we who have seen Golgotha
Take the hands you pleadingly proffer?

Now we see with jaundiced eyes
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost
The rest we have kept at too great a cost

Then the pain of your whip our lips did sing
And it did seem the end of everything
But we have licked our wounds
Bided our time
And soon we'll return a payment in kind

Now we see with jaundiced eyes
Yes, we've come to realise
All we have given we have lost
The rest we have kept at too great a cost

Like the phoenix
Fiery we rise
As Lazarus from the grave
So we live again
Returned from Hades
We won't look back
What does not kill us makes us stronger
And you cannot harm us any longer
