Hammered To The Cross (The Business)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They tell you what to believe in
But you don’t need the masque they wear
In a world so deceiving
Stealing dreams to kill your flare
Bouncing lies inside your brain
Telling you that you’ve 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 bleeding sacrifice
They’re all in it for the business
But me I’m in it for the heart
I’ll never sell my soul to greed I take the nails and bleed
Hammered to the cross… yeah… Nailed on to the cross
My mind is chaos but I’ve got the beat
I am the rhythm and melody
Once my ambition was the fame
But now I’m tired of playing this game
My wings of darkness still keep trying to fly free
Someone take the pressure down there’s a storm inside of me
I saw you there in the paper standing next to a faker
And it blew my mind
(Now I know) 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
Hammered to the cross… crying on the cross… yeah
Like a candle in the frozen night
I am the flame of the lonely light
Burning fast in these times of haze
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 the heart
In denial 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 and roll
They were in it for the business
When they stabbed him in the side
Sent down to the earth of lies to take our sins and die
Hammered to the cross… yeah
Bleeding for the loss… god help all of us
