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, your my hostage now

I am a sinner, and I am a saint
I am the devil, I am the 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'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 lions den (den)
You can not be saved
You gave your innocents away
Ohhh..

I turned my cheek, and I've suffered the blow
Truth of my story, is widely unknown
Word of derision, I have swallow 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 word decipher 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've slept there in that lions 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 can not be saved
You gave your innocents away
Oh...

You will be made a hostage of love
A hostage of love
Hostage of love
