What you ask, has too high a price,
What you demand, demands sacrifice.
What you need, costs too much pain,
What you want, [from me] wants for a name.
Call it devotion,
An empty emotion,
still you ask it of me:
Too much, I can't,
The ends outweigh the means,
Of such, I rant,
Before I slip into dreams.
What you ask, has too high a price,
What you demand, demands sacrifice.
What you need, costs too much pain,
What you place, [on me] Puts me to shame.
Call it devotion,
An empty emotion,
still you need it of me:
Too long, I wait.
Soon I'll have to choose,
The wrong, dark gate.
In the end I always lose.
What you ask, has too high a price,
What you demand, demands sacrifice.
What you need, costs too much pain,
What you send, [to me] sends me to my bane.
Call it devotion,
An empty emotion,
still you demand of me.
