Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

Crown Of Thorns lyrics

[Music: De Feis/Pursino, lyrics: De Feis]



The smell of old velvet

Dampness and gloom

Her sweat covered body

Masturbatin' in her room

I know that you wanna believe

That I sinned and I lied

Let the fire console you tonite

It's your turn to cry- cry, babe.



Alone with the memory

Of the way it might've been

Woman it's crazy

Pride was the sin

A thousand year darkness

A season of pain

With one Judas kiss

You're screaming my name



[Chorus:]

Wastin' your life away

(Baby) It's a crown of thorns 

You wear

Crown of thorns

...My, my...



Tracks on the carpet

Cracks in the glass

Seven years spent in torment- alone

Shakin' your ass

You walked out on me

Couldn't see...



That I wasn't to blame

Let the lies and the coke and

The Poison

Shoot into your veins...

...Shoot it babe.



Alone with the memory

Of the way it might've been

Woman it's crazy

Pride was the sin

A thousand year darkness

A season of pain

With one Judas kiss

You're screaming my name



[Chorus]



After the face of beauty

Becomes the face of despair

Bound by the flesh of treason

Under the hunting wings

Oh, Lord...



Alone with the memory

Of the way it might have been

You're fuckin' crazy

Pride was your sin

A thousand year darkness

A season of pain

With blood on your lips...

I'm not to blame..



[Chorus]



Love lies bleeding... love dies...

...When I was dyin' in the cold by

The side of the road

You were lying in a warm embrace

When I was bleedin' in the rain

On an empty street

You were makin' love to someone else...

Shallow and cruel- you were never true..

What'd I ever do to you?

..Oh, I don't need you...

Wear your crown.. fuck off

...Your house is empty- open..

...Open to the wind and rain...
