Cloven Hoof - Golgotha Lyrics

My God
why hast thou forsaken me?
Done all that's asked in your name.
Why must my path lead on to Calvary?
How could my death be in vain?

I preached the gospel,
from the highest mountain.
I reached the mighty,
beast of the field.
Who raised the dead?
Walked on water?
Tempted by Satan,
but I would not yield.

[Chorus:]
Golgotha!
Golgotha!
Golgotha, oh!

Golgotha!
Golgotha!
Golgotha, oh!

I healed the leaper,
and freed the harlot.
The lame could walk,
my hands can heal.
I fed the hungry,
banished demons.
The blind see
through me,
but my fate is sealed.

[Chorus]

See how I bleed?
How can it come to this?
Broken betrayed
by a Judas kiss.

Thorns crown my head,
Messiah they call me.
Soon I will be dead,
mortal man from Galilee.

Holy father,
my time has come.
holy ghost,
now receive your son.

[Chorus]
