The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail Lyrics - Mansun

The cup that caught your blood was stained 

Destroyed, taken away, away 

Your likeness hidden from the crowd 

Who cried only in shame, in shame 

And he claimed to be messiah 

And his lies were thinly veiled 

Born without a human father 

Jesus saves 

(He saves for us) 

You're playing God for just one minute 

(He saves for us) 

Let fame legitimize your face 

(He saves for us) 

You're playing God for just one day 

You gave holy blood to spare 

You said, "Holy fake, holy fake" 

Fake messiah's in the place 

Ouija board and snakes and snakes
