Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Tongues of fire, always talking Wasted words that ring in my ears We're still waiting, losing patience With all the lies of four hundred years I got to tell you, there are no rules here Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there Behind those eyes [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Outro] 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
