You make yourself a prisoner of me
|
You blind yourself so you don't have to see
|
You turn your life to a power above
|
You make yourself a hostage of love
|
|
You turn from me, you turn from the strain
|
Devote yourself to the power again
|
Distance yourself from all that we vowed
|
You broke those rules, you're my hostage now
|
|
I am a sinner and I am a saint
|
I am a devil, I am a ghost at the wake
|
God feed the swell and pull of your tears as they break
|
I am the limit of the load you can take
|
|
You are the pulley and I am the winch
|
I am salvation and you're herald of sin
|
I'll take you beyond your limits of trust
|
Ransom yourself, hostage of love
|
|
You see we've been born again
|
Since you've slept there in that lion's den, den
|
You can not be saved
|
You gave your innocence away, ohh
|
|
I've turned my cheek and I've suffered the blow
|
Truth of my story is widely unknown
|
Word of derision, I have swallowed with a smile
|
For telling my story I have been crucified
|
|
Now like a mad man, I give my laurels to you
|
Like a hero, forsake my trophies for you
|
No where disciple of this devil that is in the blood
|
Am I not also your hostage of love?
|
|
You see we've all been born again
|
Since you've slept there in that lion's den, den
|
You can not return
|
Until your innocence is earned
|
|
And you seek out to live alone
|
Though it hurts to make it on your own, own
|
You cannot be saved
|
You gave your innocence away, ohh
|
|
You will be made a hostage of love
|
Hostage of love, hostage of love
|
