The Same Thing

He said to you, "You will not surely die"

Then in your heart you knew it was a lie

But in your head you spun a thread of foolish pride

That found you reaching up into the tree

And the same thing is happening to me

"Even if I fall away, I will not"

That's what you said upon that fateful day

But when they came to say that you were of his kin

You cast him off that they might leave you be

And the same thing is happening

The same thing is happening to me

Men like trees were walking in the light

And you thought this was the limit of his might

With his hands upon your eyes, the second time you tried

And you looked up once again to finally see

And the same thing is happening

And the same thing is happening

And the same thing is happening to me

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh (oh)

Oh, oh, oh (oh)

Darkness filled the land so cold and vast

And the one accused cried and breathed his last

As you came to understand whose blood was on your hands

You fell before the one who set you free

And the same thing is happening

And the same thing is happening

And the same thing is happening

Oh, same thing is happening to me

Oh, same thing is happening to me

Oh, same thing is happening to me
