Virgin Steele - 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 gla** Seven years spent in torment- alone Shakin' your a** 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 f**in' 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.. f** off ...Your house is empty- open.. ...Open to the wind and rain...
