lyrics

my God, my God, it’s all gone black
my God, my God, i can’t go back

“abomination”, they shriek and wail when i walk by
if not with their mouths, still with their eyes
as though i have subverted nature, as though i were not made this way
an image - corrupted? - but aren’t we all?
are we not called to glory all the same?
am i not called “just as i am”?

i am an amethyst in a world of sapphires and rubies
i am a mystery to the ones who thought they knew me
i am a heretic to the pure and pious body
i am an amethyst
but we all have the same flaws

blood on their hands, hatred in their hearts, with no sense of shame
twisted dogma, judgment justified, corruption of a name
distant and bitter, i cannot pretend i am one of them anymore
let the curse relent, heaven’s recompense

i am an amethyst in a world of sapphires and rubies
i am a heretic to the pure and pious body
i am a mystery to the ones who thought they knew me
i am an amethyst
but we all reflect the same light
we all have the same flaws
but we all reflect the same light
