Sleeping Scapegoat

For a time unknown to mortal man,
I have born the blame,
I have always been the one,
That is forced to take the shame

Problems caused by another,
I take upon my soul,
To rid this earth of darkness,
I will take the toll

But once your only scapegoat,
If finally dead and gone,
You will find another,
Who must take your scorn

Another one must be found,
Someone to replace me,
Another unknown person,
You wont look far to see

Die! Die! Die!
They shout out to my face,
Yet in the end I'm not dead,
Even though bound in metal case

Sleeping under the ground,
The cold earth is my home,
I will be forever doomed,
To spend eternity alone

I was once society's scapegoat,
But now my work is done,
No longer will you need the blamed,
For now you've killed your son
