Lyrics

(These were never used, only the backing track was recorded)

I gave you all that I had to give 
I swore without you I'd never live 
The greatest love that had ever been 
Cooled off and that was a sin

There'll be a time when you'll regret 
And curse the day that we ever met 
You'll pay the price that a sinner pays 
And go to hell for your thieving ways

You stole my love 
You stole my love 

 

I thought this time I'd found the one 
I was a fool you led me on 
It cut me deep it made me scream 
Get ready for your darkest dream

All is pure to the pure 
All is sure to those in the web of love 
To those in the web of love 

I don't know when but it will come 
Revenge is sweet it will be done


You'll pay the price that a sinner pays 
And go to hell for your thieving ways 

All is pure to the pure 
All is sure to those in the web of love 
All is pure to the pure 
All is sure to those in the web of love 
To those in the web of love

You stole my love 
You stole my love
