The Truth Beneath the Rose - Within Temptation

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

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast

It is the darker 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

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

Forgive me my sins

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast

It is the darker 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

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

Forgive me my sins

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast

It is the darker 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
