This is the throne where hatred keeps
What is sown is never reaped
This is the blindness that you need
This is the vein on which you feed

Surrender
It´s just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can´t remember
It´s never enough
I will surrender
It´s never enough

Oh my darling
One for all and all for one
Give me reason
The quest for truth
Give me something
Disobedient yet responsive
To believe in
Out of darkness there will be light

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

This is the dignity that you felt
This is the gutter where you have knelt

Surrender
It´s just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can´t remember
It´s never enough
I will surrender
It´s never enough

This is your wretched, heavin´ high
These are the shamed, the damned, the blamed
I can smell the slowly spreadin´ stain
Oh, the burden of shame

Surrender
It´s just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can´t remember
It´s never enough
I will surrender
It´s never enough

Oh my darling
It´s a war with no winners
Give me reason
When violence hits home
Give me something
Ignorance is your religion
To believe in
Take this spear and heal thyself

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Disobedient
One too many lies
Disobedient
It´s the greatest swindle
Disobedient
Everything falls into place
Disobedient
Take these words and feel thyself

This is your wretched, heavin´ high
These are the shamed, the damned, the blamed
I can smell the slowly spreadin´ stain
Oh, the burden of shame

Oh my darling
Give me reason
Give me something
To believe in
