The Same Thing

He said to you, «You will not surely die»
And in your heart you knew it was a lie
But in your head you spun a thread of foolish pride
That found you reaching up into the tree
And the same thing is happening to me
Even if I fall away I will not
That’s what you said upon that fateful day
But when they came to say that you were of his kin
You cast him off that they might leave you be
And the same thing is happening
And the same thing is happening to me
Men like trees were walking in the light
And you though this was the limit of his might
With his hands upon your eyes
The second time you tried
And you looked up once again to finally see
And the same thing is happening
And the same thing is happening
And the same thing is happening to me
Darkness filled the land so cold and vast
And the one accused cried and breathed his last
As you came to understand whose blood was on your hands
You fell before the one who set you free
And the same thing is happening
And the same thing is happening
And the same thing is happening
Oh the same thing is happening to me
Oh the same thing is happening to me
Oh the same thing is happening to me
