Cross of Thorns (2024 Remaster)

Don't come closer, 'cause it ain't safe here

Just turn around now and walk away

I gotta tell you, there are no rules here

Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there

Behind those eyes

When a promise is broken and no-one trusts you

And young ones cryin' 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 400 years

I got to tell you, there are no rules here

Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there

Behind those eyes

When a promise is broken and no-one trusts you

And young ones cryin' 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

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

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

Whoa, 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
