Effigy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Behold the man, a living example Behold the man, a living example In his likeness, sacred profane In his likeness, sacred profane Behold the man What have I done? The path to hell is paved with least resistance But those less traveled by shall make a world of difference [Bridge] Beating myself to a pulp Extracting from my skull All those things I've learned to live with All those things I've loved All these things are killing me A perpetual fall from grace But the hand that feeds is the hand that beats me Fiercely in the face [Chorus] So I will Build myself an effigy Build myself an effigy Build myself an effigy Build myself an effigy No longer mope in mediocre hell No longer mope in mediocre hell [Verse 2] Behold the man, a living example Behold the man, what have I done? Behold the man, in his likeness Sacred profane Behold the man, a living example Behold the man, what have I done? Behold the man, in his likeness [Chorus 2] What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done, done, done, done? Effigy, effigy Effigy, effigy Behold the man, behold the man [Bridge 2] The icons, betrayal, and guilt The icons, betrayal, and guilt The icons, betrayal, and filth The icon What have I done? [Chorus 3] Behold the man, a living example In his likeness, sacred profane Behold the man, behold the man What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
