Hostage Of Love |
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 be turned |
Until your innocence is old |
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 |
