give me strength to face the truth, the doubt within my soul
no longer i can justify the bloodshed in his name
is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
pray with me so i will find the gate to heaven’s door
i believed it would justify the means
it had a hold over me
blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
it is the darker side of me
the veil of my dreams deceived all i have seen
forgive me for what i have been
forgive me my sins
pray for me cause i have lost my faith in holy wars
is paradise denied to me cause i can’t take no more
has darkness taken over me, consumed my mortal soul
all my virtues sacrificed, can heaven be so cruel?
i believed it would justify the means
it had a hold over me
blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
it is the darker side of me
the veil of my dreams deceived all i have seen
forgive me for what i have been
forgive me my sins
i’m hoping, i’m praying
i won’t get lost between two worlds
for all i have seen the truth lies in between
give me the strength to face the wrong that i have done
now that i know the darkest side of me
how can blood be our salvation
and justify the pain that we have caused throughout the times
will i learn what’s truly sacred?
will i redeem my soul, will truth set me free?
blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
it is the darker side of me
the veil of my dreams deceived all i have seen
forgive me for what i have been
forgive me my sins
