Hostage of love - itunes version

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
