New Age Messiah Lyrics - 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, 

And they knew they have 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 

But I'm the new messiah for the blind 

For the blind 

The word shall spread like wildfire 

Here 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 

Till then you know that you are to obey me 

Pardon me... 

Gluttony and extasy, 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 

I'm the motherfucking new messiah 

for the fucking world :) 

Pardon me...
