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 Hostage Of Love
