lirik lagu result - substitute
[chorus]
darkness is exposed when it comes near the light (the light)
i’m down on the road, and i’m losing my light
someone, please save me
someone, please atone and trade places with me
[verse 1]
i’m cramped and cold in this holding cell
it’s damp, covered with mold, the atrocious smell
of death circulates the room
the horrid place, for i face my doom
before a taste of my tomb
antic~p~ting pain, and i couldn’t be more sure
i’m ‘bout to endure the worst form of torture
the thought made me nauseous
anything else, just not this
oh, what i would do to stop this
surrounded by accomplices filled with enormity
and prisoners in torment due to physical deformity
internally, i feel morbidly identical
mentally, insanity is climbin’ toward the pinnacle
the room was more obscure, just a loose description
not a gruesome fiction, but a true depiction
affliction of life’s most cruel eviction
soon to be consumed by my crucifixion
[chorus]
darkness is exposed when it comes near the light (the light)
i’m down on the road, and i’m losing my light
someone, please save me
someone please atone and trade places with me
[verse 2]
nothing could sedate me to escape the reality
another blind date of waitin’ his fate up at calvary
waitin’ on the outcome
searchin’ for excuses, useless, ‘cause i’m without one
guilty of larceny, murder, and deception
high treason for leadin’ a rebellious insurrection
it was the passover
and a legal waiver was instituted to release a prisoner to seek the people’s favor
the odds are slim, but the thought lingers
maybe they’ll choose me as i cross my fingers
then my hopes plummeted; i’m dumber than dirt
to think they would want one of the worst scum of the earth
my release would be hazardous
plus, i was up against this jesus of nazareth who’s just bein’ blasphemous
death had to be decreed for me, the savage
then i heard the crowd yell out, “free barabbas!”
[chorus]
i need a substitute
i need a substitute
someone to atone for me and take my place
i need a substitute
[verse 3]
how could this be? (how could this be?)
i broke a thousand laws
walkin’ out the cell, greeted by a loud applause (i’m so guilty)
i saw greeks and jews
what made the people choose?
couldn’t speak or move
tryin’ to reach for clues
reveal light [?]
if this is what freedom feels like
then why doesn’t something inside me feel right?
i look to the right then the left, saw a sword
to the back of jesus, bein’ led to be scourged
in the midst of the crowd, as he crossed my path
he looked calm as the masters mocked and laughed
harassed and torn, then spat upon, assaulted, and made to take it
appalled, all i saw was unadulterated hatred
battered, beaten, and bloodied
what a crooked demise that should’ve been mine
suddenly, he looked in my eyes
smiled instead with innocence, love, and truth
he’s not just a jew, but my substitute
[outro]
darkness is exposed when it comes near the light
when it comes near the light
one man’s life substituting for mine
