Lyrics Jorn – Hammered To The Cross (The Business)

They tell you what to believe in
But you don’t need the mask they wear
In a world so deceiving
Stealing dreams to kill your flair

I see lies inside your brain
Telling you that you’re gone insane
When all you did was step out of the rain
The sun was better than the pain
Capitalistic shadow over paradise
Political drama breeding sacrifice

They’re all in it for the business
But me I’m in it for the heart
I’ll never sell my soul for the greed
I’ll take the nails and bleed
Hammered to the cross, yeah
Led up to the cross

My mind is chaos, but I got the beat
I’m the rhythm and melody
What’s my own picture and what’s the flame?
But now I’m tired of playing this game
My wings of darkness still keep trying to fly free
Someone take the pressure down this storm inside of me
I saw you there in the paper standing next to a faker
And it blew my mind
You and me never meant to be
But how could you be so blind

You were in it for the business
When you left and broke my heart
You were just a deceiver
And I was the bleeder of love

Like a candle in the frozen night
I’m the flame of the lonely light
Burning fast in these times of hate
Crucified in this ancient place
Slowly dying from the things I learned to love

We’re all swallowed by the business
Under the eye that steals their heart
Even now we give a smile and pretend for a while
All in it for the business
Everybody’s in the business
I’ll never let it drown my soul
And kill my rock ‘n roll

They were in it for the business
When they stabbed him in the side
Sent down to the earth over lies
To take our sins and die

Hammered to the cross, yeah
Bleeding for the lost
God help all of us
