Judas' Song
My aim is twisted out of trueWarped and worn through loving youYour face swims closer in the darkI cannot fail to hit my markOh why must I wear a thousand facesWhile you wear only oneI'm falling now I have no choiceI'm screaming but I have no voiceThe hands which push me on are yoursAnd glindly I obey your lawsOh why do I need a thousand voicesWhile you need only oneYou told me once what I should doObeying I'm betraying youSo lovingly you forced my handIn ways I cannot understandOh why must I break a thousand heartsWhile you break only one |
