New Age Messiah

Edguy

Countless pointing fingers 
A nameless crowd too swollen to analyse 
Takes a rise out of the stranger 
Don't know where he's come from 
Bumfuck raises birds of paradise 
They surmise - very wise 
One night they witnessed 
How he lit his backdoor winds 
Fire turned the night into day 
And they prayed, fell on their knees 
And turned their glances off his face, 
They know they've been chosen to obey 

Pardon me 
Raise a graven image 
I'm the new messiah for the world 
You can't see the splendor of my nimbus 
But I'm the new messiah for the world 
For the blind 

The word shall spread like wildfire 
You got a new messiah holding sway 
Delightful game 
Don't you give away: I'm no redeemer 
But bring me grapes and diamonds right away 
And a maid to lay... 

One day oblivion will swallow up my fame 
The common run of mankind will forget my name 
Forget my name 
Like a phoenix rising someone else is gonna reign 

'Til then you know that you are to obey me 

Pardon me... 

Gluttony and ecstasy, there's velvet on my dais 
Lions, ladies, rotaries they never spare with praise 
A million pointing fingers 
Have turned to clapping hands 
Now I'm off to Betty Ford, 
See you in hell my friends 

Pardon fucking me, who the fucking fuck is Jesus 
Motherfucking new messiah 
For the fucking world 

Pardon me...
