Carrying No Cross

[Verse 1]
Stop!
Been wrong so many times before
I was always laying down the law
And all attractions were a bore
They led me back to you

[Verse 2]
Uniforms were an allergy
They never felt quite right to me
They conjured wartime Germany
And God knows we need that

[Verse 3]
Temptation boundaries will never know
The time when my morale was low
The circumstances always show
The place was yours or mine

[Chorus]
Carrying no cross before me
No prize to idolize, no story
To tell of adolescent glory
Just void

[Verse 4]
Empty spaces, nothing to show
No point of reference, or place to go
But one thing I'd ignored, and so
The light came shining through

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Been wrong so many times before
I was always laying down the law
One thing you cannot ignore
Bad boys can come clean

[Verse 6]
Emotions I could not control
Illuminate my heart and soul
I saw a light, I scored a goal
And what price... peace of mind?
