Song: I'm Not JesusArtist: Apocalyptica (Feat. Corey Taylor)
Album: Worlds Collide
Apocalyptica is a Finnish metal band from Helsinki, Finland.
I'm Not Jesus is a single from Apocalyptica's sixth studio album, Worlds Collide, which was released in 2007. As I've said before on other posts about Apocalyptica songs, they have no lead singer and most of their music does not have lyrics. The songs that do have lyrics are sung by guest singers. I'm Not Jesus is sung by Corey Taylor, who is the lead singer of both Slipknot (an American metal band from Des Moines, Iowa) and Stone Sour (an American rock band also from Des Moines, Iowa). The song I'm Not Jesus is sung from the perspective of someone sexually abused as a child by a priest. The song is confrontational toward the priest. Corey is a very good singer of metal and rock. His voice fits this song perfectly. As I've said before I love Apocalyptica's mixture of metal and classical music. This song is loud, angry and the lyrics speak of something truly terrible. I think the song should make people think about what has happened and how we shouldn't let people get away with such abuse just because they are in a position of authority
"I'm Not Jesus"
Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers and comb your hair
Save your soul tonight
Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?
[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down
I want to be there.
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!
You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
Your god ain't looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
No I won't! [2x]
I've thought you were a good man,
I've thought you talked to god.
Your hippocratic, messianic, child abusing, turned satanic.
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
[Chorus:]
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
I'm not Jesus,
You can't run away!
And the innocence you spoil
Find a way to live
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus
I will not forgive!
I won't forgive.
I won't be whatever you want to.
[2x]
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?
No!
[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down,
I want to be there
Your god is looking down on me
I'm not Jesus
Jesus wasn't there!
You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me!
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!
Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies

And I am
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?
[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down
I want to be there.
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!
You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
Your god ain't looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
No I won't! [2x]

I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!
