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 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
