Give me strength to face the truth, the doubt within my soul
 No longer I can justify the bloodshed in his name
 Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
 Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
 
 I believed it would justify the means
 It had a hold over me
 
 Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
 It is the darker side of me
 The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen
 Forgive me for what I have been
 Forgive me my sins
 
 Pray for me cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
 Is paradise denied to me cause I can't take no more
 Has darkness taken over me, consumed my mortal soul
 All my virtues sacrificed, can Heaven be so cruel?
 
 I believed it would justify the means
 It had a hold over me
 
 Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
 It is the darker side of me
 The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen
 Forgive me for what I have been
 Forgive me my sins
 
 I'm hoping, I'm praying
 I won't get lost between two worlds
 For all I have seen the truth lies in between
 Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
 Now that I know the darkest side of me
 
 How can blood be our salvation
 And justify the pain that we have caused throughout the times
 Will I learn what's truly sacred?
 Will I redeem my soul, will truth set me free?
 
 Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
 It is the darker side of me
 The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen
 Forgive me for what I have been
 Forgive me my sins
