I take you down to the river I held you under the water You said I'll never forgive you, I was begging you please I've got love and devotion It's like a brick in the ocean I'm under whelmed by emotion as you crucify me And I get confused every time that you speak As you paint me out as unrighteous and weak And I saw a photograph I heard your cold heart starting to freeze And in the aftermath You follow the shining path with me I've got a book of quotations From the enemy nation A new dawn of creation and insurgency Trying to fix what is broken A bitter pill that you're choking I don't know what you've been smoking but it's worrying me And I see you bleeding from the eyes And I'd love to say I sympathize Silence the raging wrath Maybe it's time we let it be And I hear the comrades laugh Follow the shining path with me The shining path with Throwing crumbs to the pigeons You toss the masses religion What bastard made the decision to make you a god? You're turning blood into money You turn the mud into honey I don't think anything's funny about another jihad You're driving the spikes right through my hands You're crowning yourself the King of Man And I hear the soldiers laugh Give us an autograph for free The glory and misery Forgetting our history You say that you died for me You promised to set me free Bodies and burning trash We slaughter the ruling class They're runnin' and runnin', they want to save their ass On the shining path Follow the shining path We follow the shining path Follow the shining path
