The Truth Beneath The Rose

1. Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify
The bloodshed in his name.

Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me.

[Chorus:]
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins).

The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins).

2. Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
This paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more.

Has darkness taken over me
Consumed my mortal soul
All my virtues sacrificed
Can Heaven be so cruel?

I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
(Forgive me my sins).

[Bridge:]
I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two hearts
Follow a sin
The truth lies in between.

Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know
The darkest side of me.

How can blood be your salvation
And justify the pain
That we have caused throughout the times.

Will I learn what's truly sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free
(Forgive me my sins).
