I am a murderer, I am the crowd I am the ones who held the nails and wrapped the shroud I am the sword that pierced the side And the cold blood that trickled down
I am a murderer, I am the judge I am as guilty as a sinner ever was Yet I placed a crown of thorns on the blameless head Of the King of love
I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” Now I cry, “Mercy, mercy” Yeah, I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” I am the murderer
I am the murderer, He is the cure I am the soldier at His feet amongst the poor I now see He is the perfect Son of God I am the murderer
I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” Now I cry, “Mercy, mercy” Yeah, I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” Ooh, I am the murderer
Ooh…
I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” (remember me) Now I cry, “Mercy, mercy” (remember me) Oh and I shouted, “Crucify, crucify” (remember me) Now I cry, “Mercy, mercy” (remember me) I am the murderer
