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

And 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 avowed

You broke the rules,

You're my hostage now

I am a sinner

And I am a saint

I am a devil

I am the ghost at the wake

I 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

Am your herald of sin

I take you beyond

Your limits of trust

Ransom yourself

Hostage of love

You say you have been born again

Since you slept there in that liar's den, den

You cannot be saved

You gave your innocence away

Oooohhh ooooh

I've turned my cheek

And I've suffered the blow

Truth of my story

Is widely unknown

Words of derision I have

Swallowed with a smile

For telling my story I have been crucified

Now like a madman

I give my laurels to you

And like a hero

Forsake my trophies for you

Though a deciple of this devil

That is in our blood

Am I not also

Your hostage of love

You say you have been born again

Since you slept there in that liar's den, den

You cannot return

Until your innocence is earned

You say you've got to live alone

Though it hurts, You'll make it on your own, own

You cannot be saved

You gave your innocence away

Oooohhh ooooh

You will remain a hostage of love

Hostage of love

Hostage of love
