Love Gone Wrong (A Nightmare Song and an Answer to the Evangelists)

Christ spoke to me from the gallows
And burned a hole in my heart.

He said I'd never be the same again,
I'd always feel pain.

He set me apart from my fellows.

He's nailed me to a system of belief
That brings me endless grief.

Christ speaks to me from the gallows.
