The Cross - Within Temptation

Nothing’s ever changed

You still turn away

You’ve washed your hands

You’ve made that all too clear

You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see

You’re denying me

The cross I bear

But you don’t seem to care

Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why

I’m still calling your name

Through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I’m still wondering why

I’m still calling your name, my dear

I’m sorry if you can’t

Stand the naked truth

All you see

Is how you want it to be

So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross

After all these years

Oh, call my name

And help me with this weight

Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why

I’m still calling your name

Through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I’m still wondering why I’m still calling your name

And I wonder, oh, I wonder

In my heart I still hope

You will open the door

You can purify it all

Answer my call

Why?

Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I’m still wondering why I’m still calling your name

And I wonder, oh, I wonder

In my heart I still hope

You will open the door

You can purify it all

Answer my call
