The Legend of the Captive
My cross, the sign of love to my departed
That shall last for centuries to come
In this cursed column that I'm chained
She whom I loved, my faith, my desire
Punished for love, oh how divine
Not a day passes without me dreaming your light
I'll not lose my faith even as my body rots
Though we came from different tribes
I knew one day that you'd be my bride
Now that you've accepted my love
I feel in heaven, like I've risen above
But, whispers in the village warn of a love that's forbidden
I should've known that they wouldn't accept our love
The dark skies break their silence with cries
Of my beloved. They've thrown her lifeless in the cold
River, where I too shall join her
In the name of your god, is this justice you call?
And they chain me to this column
When I only wish for death (wish for death)
Cause without her, I now lost my way
Without her love I lose my faith, day by (day by day by) day!
The cross I bear, the cross I bear!
And they chain me to this column
When I only wish for death
All I have left is the cross that I scratched with my nails
Cross of a faith which I lose day by day
That shall last for centuries to come
In this cursed column that I'm chained
She whom I loved, my faith, my desire
Punished for love, oh how divine
Not a day passes without me dreaming your light
I'll not lose my faith even as my body rots
Though we came from different tribes
I knew one day that you'd be my bride
Now that you've accepted my love
I feel in heaven, like I've risen above
But, whispers in the village warn of a love that's forbidden
I should've known that they wouldn't accept our love
The dark skies break their silence with cries
Of my beloved. They've thrown her lifeless in the cold
River, where I too shall join her
In the name of your god, is this justice you call?
And they chain me to this column
When I only wish for death (wish for death)
Cause without her, I now lost my way
Without her love I lose my faith, day by (day by day by) day!
The cross I bear, the cross I bear!
And they chain me to this column
When I only wish for death
All I have left is the cross that I scratched with my nails
Cross of a faith which I lose day by day
