SCORPIONS LYRICS - The Cross

"The Cross"



Hey, do you remember me

I finally found the strength to face

The pain you made me feel

I always held my tongue

And all the things you've done to me

Are secrets to reveal



I'll never let you do this to someone else

No I could never live with myself



How dare you use my shame

To play your wicked games

With the mask you're wearing

And now you gotta make amends

For the demons in my head

I'll nail you to the cross

The cross I'm bearing



You, you said you'd save my soul

And sacrificed the innocence

That I will never know

Now it's time that you confess

They say the devil doesn't rest

Until the truth is told



I'll never let you do this to someone else

No I could never live with myself



How dare you use my shame

To play your wicked games

With the mask you're wearing

And now you gotta make amends

For the demons in my head

I'll nail you to the cross

The cross I'm bearing

The cross I'm bearing



I believed in love

I believed in trust

I believed in you

You became my God

I believed in love

I believed in trust



I was young and so naive

You were God and I believed

You made me kneel

You made me feel

Like it was all my fault

But now I know it wasn't mine at all



How dare you use my shame

To play your wicked game

You gotta make amends

For the demons in my head

You held me down in chains

And made me take the blame

I'll nail you to the cross
