The Cross

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear You just keep on living this lie You refuse to see, you're denying me The cross I bear but you don't seem to care Even Judas knew he had lied I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears Why have you waited to embrace me my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name my dear I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth All you see is how you want it to be So you keep on living your life Release me from this cross after all these years Oh call my name and help me with this weight Even though it comes far too late I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears Why have you waited to embrace me my dear Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name And I wonder, oh I wonder In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call Why? Why? Why have you waited to embrace me my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name And I wonder, oh I wonder In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call --- The Cross - Within Temptation
