Dampness and gloom
 Her sweat covered body
 Masturbatin' in her room
 I know that you wanna believe
 That I sinned and I lied
 Let the fire console you tonite
 It's your turn to cry- cry, babe.

 Alone with the memory
 Of the way it might've been
 Woman it's crazy
 Pride was the sin
 A thousand year darkness
 A season of pain
 With one Judas kiss
 You're screaming my name

 Chorus:
 Wastin' your life away
 (Baby) It's a crown of thorns
 You wear
 Crown of thorns
 ...My, my...

 Tracks on the carpet
 Cracks in the glass
 Seven years spent in torment- alone
 Shakin' your ass
 You walked out on me
 Couldn't see...

 That I wasn't to blame
 Let the lies and the coke and
 The Poison
 Shoot into your veins...
 ...Shoot it babe.

 Alone with the memory
 Of the way it might've been
 Woman it's crazy
 Pride was the sin
 A thousand year darkness
 A season of pain
 With one Judas kiss
 You're screaming my name

 Chorus

 After the face of beauty
 Becomes the face of despair
 Bound by the flesh of treason
 Under the hunting wings
 Oh, Lord...

 Alone with the memory
 Of the way it might have been
 You're fuckin' crazy
 Pride was your sin
 A thousand year darkness
 A season of pain
 With blood on your lips...
 I'm not to blame..

 Chorus

 Love lies bleeding... love dies...
 ...When I was dyin' in the cold by
 The side of the road
 You were lying in a warm embrace
 When I was bleedin' in the rain
 On an empty street
 You were makin' love to someone else...
 Shallow and cruel- you were never true..
 What'd I ever do to you?
 ..Oh, I don't need you...
 Wear your crown.. fuck off
 ...Your house is empty- open..
 ...Open to the wind and rain
