[Verse 1]

This is the throne where hatred keeps

And what is sown is never reaped

This is the blindness that you need

This is the vein on which you feed

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Oh, my darling

One for all and all for one

Give me reason

The quest for truth

Give me something

Disobedient yet responsive

To believe in

Out of darkness, there will be light

[Post-Chorus]

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

[Verse 2]

This is the dignity that you felt

This is the gutter where you have knelt

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Disobedience

One too many lies

Disobedience

It's the greatest swindle

Disobedience

Everything falls into place

Disobedience

Take these words and feel thyself

[Sax solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Oh, my darling

Give me reason

Give me something

To believe in
