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
