A2. Cross Of ThornsDon't come closer, 'cose it ain't safe hereJust turn around now and walk away I gotta tell ya, there are no rules here Sometimes I wonder what goes on there, behind those eyes? [Chorus]: When a promise is broken and no one trusts you And young ones crying with their heads in their hands When you talk about saving the souls of the faithful You can't help thinking you've got blood on your hands From a cross of thorns, cross of thorns Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that ring in my ears We're still waiting, losing patience with all the lies of four hundred years I gotta tell ya, there are no rules here Sometimes I wonder what goes on there, behind those eyes? [Chorus] We gave you yesterday and now you want today Oh, from the hands of death we take our daily bread Now all we do is choke and the words that you once spoke fade away... Look at what you've done - it's a cross of thorns, cross of thorns Take away, oh, this cross of thorns Look at what you've done, woah Look at what you've done - it's a cross of thorns When a promise is broken and no one trusts you You've got blood on your hands from a cross of thorns |
