      The death, the lies, the lies, the truth 
      All That it is,  what was,   ain't true 
      I was down  but   now        I can't see 
      The pain,        the hurt,    the misery

 This cross you bear I've come to carry for you 
 This cross you bear I've come to break it in two 
    I was down  but   now         I can't see 
    The pain,        the hurt,     the misery
