Lyrics of The Mysterious Stranger by Rusty Cage
intro
Travelled up the country from a town down south
Where the laws are governed by a lack of fiction
He was a man of supreme extravagance
Sent to us to test our human contradiction
verse
He was just a mysterious stranger
With the supernatural claim to raise the dead
He sang a song of his redemption
He sang a song of seven sins that plague the dead
hook
Soulless sings when sorrow brings us down
verse
You could believe nothing's set in stone
Anything could change the way you see by what is known
For when the light shines bright on the right side
You're left blind to the blight that the shadow hides
But what is your perspective?
Could you acclimate the empathy enough to try and respect it?
To praise God as a menacing host
Just to crucify the Devil when he needed us most
pre-chorus
And uh, throw stones, break bones, you can take your turn
But is it all right? Fuck it, let 'em burn
hook
Soulless sings, sorrow brings us down
verse
Jesus cried inside the manger
But his tears were never once written about
And was he weeping, "Hallelujah"?
Or was he weeping for the sins he lived without?
Well, take my sword down to the river
May the waters wash above my weary head
The river rests, and the river wakes; the river calms, and the river breaks
The river gives, and the river takes you to its bed
hook
Soulless sings when sorrow brings us down
verse
These people really know how to take
They understand forgiving when they make a mistake
They understand strife and the value of life
But yet, forget to ever stop and question whether it's right
We're subject to morality, morality of that which is subjective
And act upon the fact that we know best as a collective
Remedy the enemy the populous picks
And implement a prejudice to stir up the mix
verse
How strong are your convictions that a Heaven exists?
Is it enough to sacrifice the choice of life to persist?
Always knowing that your crowing keeps you safe and snug?
Life is easy, sweeping underneath the rug
But deep down, we know the truth about death
When it finally comes, we know there ain't nothin' left
Because God is indifferent, nobody is innocent
And we invent the definition of the infinite
pre-chorus
Well, I can do what's right, and I try
But if you want God? Well then, fuck it, let 'em die
chorus
Death never waits, follow me down
Down to the gates, follow me down
Heaven awaits, follow me down
Don't hesitate, follow me down
hook
Soulless sings, sorrow brings us down
chorus
Death never waits, follow me down
Down to the gates, follow me down
Don't hesitate, follow me down
Heaven awaits, follow me down
hook
Soulless sings, sorrow brings us down
