Story Behind the Song
Originally titled the Chosen One, this is about the selection of an unwilling savior.
Lyrics
Yeah. Woke up this morning and I looked into the mirror. The sight I saw gave me one cold quiver. There was this cross burnt onto my head. I heard voices and this is what they said, "Four horsemen will ride across the open lands. They will do what it is that has been planned. Two thousand years since Christ was nailed upon the cross. The time has come for man to pay for what that cost. This world is sick and you're the cure for its disease. This world's not worth fixing of the sleaze. Decisions made, won't be another martyr. So cleanse it now, it's time for New World order! Burn it, burn it. Let the fires cleanse this place. Burn it, burn it. Of all the sins it must erase. Burn it, burn it. Can't fix it with more patches. Burn baby burn, like a phoenix from the ashes. Burn it, burn it. Let the fires cleanse this place. Burn it, burn it. Of all the sins it must erase. Burn it, burn it. Can't fix it with more patches. Burn baby burn, like a phoenix from the ashes. Listen here's a revelation for you. It's much too late, there's nothing you can do. Look around at the signs that we've been sending. By two thousand, your time will be ending!" Woke up this morning and I broke the fucking mirror. The sight I saw gave me one cold quiver. There was this cross burnt onto my head. I heard voices, and that was what they'd said. They let me burn. They let me burn. They let me burn. They let me burn.
