Lyrics The Cross (Live) - Within Temptation

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands
You've made that all too clear
So you keep on living this lie
You refuse to see, you're denying me
The cross I bear but you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited
To embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence
Denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name, my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living this life
Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh, call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited
To embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence
Denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh, I wonder
In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why, why, why have you waited
To embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence
Denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh, I wonder
In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call
