I Turn The Other Cheek Yet It Is You Who Is Meek

I turn the other cheek
Yet it is you
Who is meek

I opened myself
Up to you

I gave myself
To your brethren

In return I was surrounded
My cruel heathens

I turn the other cheek
Yet it is you
Who is meek

I no longer seek revenge
I no longer seek refuge

Now my footsteps
Just get bigger
And my pace gets
Quicker

I turn the other check
Yet it is you
Who is meek

At the height of
My glory
You will learn my
Story

And be shameful
And be remorseful
And be weak

For that person
Whose destruction
You seek

And in my fortune
And in my good tiding

You will be humbled
Yet I shall not lift a
Finger
Of accusation

You will be humbled
When people know
I was once amongst
Your brethren

And you will feel
Guilt
Sorrow
Remorse

Yet you will wish me well
And finally see I am human

Who bleeds red as anyone

I turn the other check
But it is you who is
Meek
