Crown Of Thorns (Official Video 1990)

This is the original music video for Clark Datchler’s 1990 single, “Crown Of Thorns“, from the album “Raindance“. The song is a critique of organised religion. The album is being remastered and will form part of a 3-disc album called “Journey Songs One“, scheduled for release in 2021. CROWN OF THORNS You were yesterday’s hero An ordinary man of flesh and blood Took the world on your shoulders A hopeless crusade, an act of love But it’s a world obsessed with religion And now you wear the face of a god Like the words you said You’re as good as dead Just a work of art on the wall And that’s why Nobody wears a Crown Of Thorns Nobody cares Nobody wears a Crown Of Thorns anymore Holy men talk of hunger While standing beneath a cross of gold And there are preachers on the TV In their thousand dollar suits Who sell your soul To think you died for what you believed in Only to be exploited and used
