lyrics

congregation of the outcast
the only place i make my home
god's holy priesthood
those chosen people
they cast me out to seek his face alone

they say the mercy has no condition
they say that love
it has no strings
i have no guilt that
that has been chosen
yet i'm inhuman
an unclean thing

they bound upon me a heavy burden
tied a weight
a weight that none would share
to daily drive off
those who'd come near me
to ease my sadness
with love and care

i did not pick the the things which caused them
to cast me far
from god's heavenly throne
for that which keeps me
now from his presence
and from the brethren
none can atone

and in a circle beyond the city
we lift our voices
and as one we pray
we ask the lord to
to send messiah
or else the darkness
to take our shame away

congregation of the outcast
the only place i make my home
god's chosen priesthood
those holy people
they cast me out to seek his face alone
