It's painful, father I'm afraid, my God A crown of thorns And a sticky blood
But I see an aim And I'll pass You are listening to me, father I call you
I must suffer And pass through thorns To make you live
To save souls My father called me To give my life for all you To suffer on the cross
With a crown of thorns I'll come down to the dark In the belly of the earth And I'll cover
The reign of satan And set the captured free Enlightenment, light to the blind I will break the dark And let everybody free
Do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children For nation will rise up in arms against nation and kingdom against kingdom And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places All these things are the beginning of birth pains
Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you You will be hated by all the nations because of my name Then many will be led into sin and they will betray one another and hate one another And many false prophets will appear and deceive many and because lawlessness will increase so much The love of many will grow cold
But the person who endures to the end will be saved And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached Throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations And then the end will come
