Ransom
I think it’s high time we pay the ransom
We can’t live like this forever in the kingdom
Wearing cloaks of God and drinking Devil’s water
Living in my dreams and waking to disaster

You steal the clothes of kings
Play your guitar like a martyr
Close your eyes at the softest touch
Drain your blood in holy water

We fell hard like fools
And blessed are the ones who break their bones
Your mouth slays me like a harpoon
And I’m a hypocrite, but I play by the rules

You steal the clothes of kings
Play your guitar like a martyr
Close your eyes at the softest touch
Drain your blood in holy water
Drain your blood in holy water
