The Truth Beneath The Rose

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 thruth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gates to Heaven's door.
I believed it would justify the means.
It had a hold over me.

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast.
It is the darker side of me.
The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen.
Forgive me for what I have been.
Forgive me my sins.

Pray for me cause I have lost my faith in holy wars.
Is 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.

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast.
It is the darker side of me.
The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen.
Forgive me for what I have been.
Forgive me my sins.

I'm hoping, I'm praying.
I won't get lost between two worlds.
For all I have seen 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 our 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?

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast.
It is the darker side of me.
The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen.
Forgive me for what I have been.
Forgive me my sins.
