This is the throne where hatred keeps
What is sown is never reaped
This is the blindness that you need
This is the vein on which you feed 

Surrender
It's just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can't remember
It's never enough
I will surrender
It's never enough 

Oh my darling
(One for all and all for one)
Give me reason
(The quest for [bad word] 
Give me something
(Disobedient yet responsive)
To believe in
(Out of darkness there will be light)

Close your eyes
Close your eyes

This is the dignity that you felt
This is the gutter where you have knelt 

Surrender
It's just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can't remember
It's never enough
I will surrender
It's never enough 

This is your wretched, heavin' high
These are the shamed, the damned, the blamed
I can smell the slowly spreadin' stain
Oh, the burden of shame 

Surrender
It's just one twist
I will surrender
My aching wrist
I can't remember
It's never enough
I will surrender
It's never enough 

Oh my darling
(It's a war with no winners)
Give me reason
(When violence hits home)
Give me something
(Ignorance is your religion)
To believe in
(Take this spear and heal thyself)

Close your eyes 
Close your eyes

Disobedient 
(One too many lies)
Disobedient 
(It's the greatest swindle)
Disobedient 
(Everything falls into place) 
Disobedient 
(Take these words and feel thyself)

This is your wretched, heavin' high
These are the shamed, the damned, the blamed
I can smell the slowly spreadin' stain
Oh, the burden of shame 

Oh my darling
Give me reason
Give me something
To believe in
