The Cross Lyrics by Scorpions

Humanity: Hour I

2007

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never let you do this to someone else
No, I could never live with myself

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never let you do this to someone else
No, I could never live with myself

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain: Billy Corgan]
I believed in love
I believed in trust
I believed in you (I believed in you)
You became my God (You became my God)
I believed in love (I believed in love)
I believed in trust (I believed in trust)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
How dare you use my shame
To play your wicked games?
But you gotta make amends
For the demons in my head
You maee me down to change
And make me take the blame
I'll nail you to the cross
The cross I'm bearing

[Outro]
I believed in love
I believed in trust
I believed in you
You became my God
I believed in love
