The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Golgotha" by the artist "W.A.S.P."

W.A.S.P.'s "Golgotha" is a soul-cry of the lyrical hero who identifies himself with the crucified Christ. Golgotha, the place of crucifixion, becomes a metaphor for suffering, despair, and a search for faith.

The hero suffers, feeling lost and begging Jesus for help and guidance. He compares himself to a leper left hanging on the cross of his sins and mistakes. He craves liberation, seeks a path to salvation, but doubts torment his soul.

Images of blood, a crown of thorns, and the setting sun create an atmosphere of hopelessness and pain. The hero questions the meaning of suffering, the veracity of religious dogma ("Are You the one they say you are?"). He prays for a sign, for hope, for confirmation that his suffering is not in vain.

Despite the despair, a timid hope breaks through in the last lines. The hero continues to believe that "there's a reason I can find" and appeals to God for salvation. The song ends with a repetition of the desperate plea: "Jesus, I need you now."

Do you hear the wailing now

Do you hear nailing down

To a crown of thorns on

Sorrows born

Heaven's come down for

Sweat like blood comes down

Eclipse a shadow now

The sun is gone and sorrows come

Where it slithers from

Jesus I need you now

Free me I'm lost somehow

Oh, remember me today

I'm a leper left to hang

Oh, yes I need you now

Jesus I need you now

Show me I'm lost somehow

Oh, and show me there's a way from

The cross from where I hang

Oh see me bleed, I need you now

Tell me where I'm going now

Ooh am I lost or found

Are you who they say

Are you who they claim

Oh, remember me

Say a little prayer somehow, ooh

Show me where I'm bound ooh

God I'm falled

The bells are tolling

Just remember me, my name, my name

Jesus I need you now

Free me I'm lost somehow

Oh, remember me today

I'm a leper left to hang

Oh, yes I need you now

Jesus I need you now

Show me I'm lost somehow

Oh, and show me there's a way from

The cross from where I hang

Oh see me bleed, I need you now

I'm slowly slipping into

These wings that carry on

My knees are bloody from my crawl

Show me there's a reason

Keep believing you're the one

My knees are buried at your cross

Tell me where I'm going now

Tell me am I going down

Are you who they say you claim

Remember me this night

Breath and hear me now

Ooh bring me alive

Show me all Golgotha's mine

Shadows forever night

Oh is there no hope for me?

Oh, somewhere you'll show for me?

Oh, I'm holding on believing there's a reason I can find

Oh oh Lord remember me, take me up tonight

Jesus I need you now

Free me I'm lost somehow

Oh, remember me today

I'm a leper left to hang

Oh, yes I need you now

Jesus I need you now

Show me I'm lost somehow

Oh, and show me there's a way from

The cross from where I hang

Oh see me bleed, I need you now
