"Criminal" lyrics

"Criminal"

Have you gotten what you came for?
Did you ever feel ashamed for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me
Did you shoot down what you aim for?
Did you ever take the blame for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me

We'll meet tonight at your garden gate
Love betrayed with a kiss of fate
Bind my hands and bind my feet
Face-to-face at last we meet
In the darkened hearts of holy men
Truth is truth and must offend
Freedom dies as freedom lives
Fear just takes and love just gives

Have you gotten what you came for?
Did you ever feel ashamed for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me
Did you shoot down what you aim for?
Wold you ever take the blame for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me

The hand is raised and the people cry
The choice is made who will or die
Spirit claims what the flesh can't see
Reason lost in the mystery
Life is pain, life is trouble
Paths will cross and you're bound to stumble
Love will be what love will be
Love has got the eyes to see

Have you gotten what you came for?
Did you ever feel ashamed for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me
Did you shoot down what you aim for?
Did you ever take the blame (uh)?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me

Love stands on fire
Love stands denied

Love arrives and love prevails
Tear my soul on a rusty nail
Thrown aside and torn asunder
Lightning flash and a crack of thunder
The earth will rise and the rivers flood
You break my heart, now the taste of blood
Life me high for all to see
Oh God, what have you done to me?

Have you gotten what you came for?
Did you ever feel ashamed for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me
Did you shoot down what you aim for?
Did you ever take the blame for?
Criminal is the name for
What you've done to me

For what you've done to me
For what you've done to me
For what you've done to me
For what you've done to me
For what you've done to me
