Текст песни: Lower Still + перевод

Look, he’s covered in dirt

The blood of his mother has mixed with the Earth

And she’s just a child who’s throbbing in pain

From the terror of birth by the light of a cave

Now they’ve laid that small baby

Where creatures come eat

Like a meal for the swine who have no clue that he

Is still holding together the world that they see

They don’t know just how low he has to go

Lower still

Look now he’s kneeling he’s washin' their feet

Though they’re all filthy fishermen, traitors and theives

Now he’s pouring his heart out and they’re fallin' asleep

But he has to go lower still

There is greater love to show

Hands to the plow

Further down now

Blood must flow

All these steps are personal

All his shame is ransom

Oh do you see, do you see just how low, he has come

Do you see it now?

No one takes from him

What he freely gives away

Beat in his face

Tear the skin off his back

Lower still, lower still

Strip off his clothes

Make him crawl through the streets

Lower still, lower still

Hang him like meat

On a criminal’s tree

Lower still, lower still

Bury his corpse in the Earth

Like a seed, like a seed, like a seed

Lower still, lower still

Lower still, lower still…

The Earth explodes

She cannot hold him!

And all therein is placed beneath Him

And death itself no longer reigns

It cannot keep the ones he gave himself to save

And as the universe shatters the darkness disolves

He alone will be honored

We will bathe in his splendor

As all heads bow lower still

All heads bow lower still
