Free me, free yourself 

A life of sacrifice controlled me 
But those promises I made 
No longer hold me 
Mercurial,more wayward by the hour 
The shackles fall away I'm in your power 

Free me (I'm a man of God) free yourself 
Come to me (it should not be) and let me lead you 
I beg you,I beseech you to let go 
My heaven is yours 
And heaven is all I know 

We are mortal 
In the hands of Gods who roll the dice 
Searching for an earthly paradise 
So hard to find 
We are mortal 
Victims of our weaknesses and passion 
We are reaching from the heights 
(I am falling,I am falling,falling from the heights) 

But I promised I would serve 
I should be a rock against depravity and sin 
Oh,no sin,no sin 
Free yourself,let your life begin 

To yourself be true 
I am a man of God 
I should not be here with you 

Free me,we are mortal,ah 

Come a little closer to the fire 
Than to love and live that one desire 
Denial of that love is treason 
The love that we make 
The force of our lives and it's reason 

We are mortal 
In the hands of Gods who roll the dice 
Searching for an earthly paradise 
So hard to find 
We are mortal 
Victims of our weaknesses and passion 
(I am falling,I am falling,we we are mortal) 

Why do I believe in you 
You're destroying my world 
Hold nothing back 
Give me all there is 
I want it all 

We are locked in each other's arms 

This is where we stand 
This is all there is 
Prisoners of each others love 
Yes we want it all
