lyrics
Such cowardice I am capable of
Inside me lies a runaway lover
What darkness drives me ever inward
Within me lives a prodigal father
Stay, Why do I always choose to run
Stay, Or only hide behind my armor
Stay, To know a brave surrender
Why do I choose to run
In the longings of your heart
Like armies marching
In the longings of your heart
Let me be taken
Whether with sword,
flattering word, or kiss
Still all men kill the thing they love
But I am captain of my conscience
Teach me to die, to resurrect all that was once pure
Chorus
Let me be taken
Captive
By beauty and by innocence
So I can learn how to fight,
how to fight for
Hope
Inside me lies a runaway lover
What darkness drives me ever inward
Within me lives a prodigal father
Stay, Why do I always choose to run
Stay, Or only hide behind my armor
Stay, To know a brave surrender
Why do I choose to run
In the longings of your heart
Like armies marching
In the longings of your heart
Let me be taken
Whether with sword,
flattering word, or kiss
Still all men kill the thing they love
But I am captain of my conscience
Teach me to die, to resurrect all that was once pure
Chorus
Let me be taken
Captive
By beauty and by innocence
So I can learn how to fight,
how to fight for
Hope
