Hammered to the Cross (The Business) - Jorn

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 to 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 am the rhythm and melody

What’s my own picture and what’s the flame?

But now i’m tired to play 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

Hammered to the cross

Crying on the cross

Like a candle in the frozen night

I’m 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 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
