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 vow

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 your herald of sin

I take you beyond

Your limits of trust

Ransom yourself

Hostage Of Love



You see we've have been born again

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

You cannot be saved

You gave your innocence away

Oooohhh



I turn 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've been crucified



Now like a madman

I give my laurels to you

Like a hero

Forsake my trophies for you

Though a deciple of this devil

That is in the blood

Am I not also

Your Hostage of Love?



You see we've been born again

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

You cannot return

Until your innocence is earned



And you seak up to live alone

Though it hurts to make it on your own, own

You cannot be saved

You gave your innocence away

Oooohhh



You will remain a hostage of love

Hostage Of Love
