Sin

I've seen the storms blaze through the sky I've seen the fires raging by I hide the secrets of my mind Things I've done and left behind Wherever I'm going Wherever I've been There will always be... sin 'Take him to the Lord' they said 'Leave it to the gods Let them decide Cause the writing's on the wall' 'Be not betrayed by innocence Don't dare to break the fall A fool can tell He's cursed forever more' I gave myself to thieves of love I carried every cross To find myself and I could never stop But despite all prayers my heart remained Hungry in the dark I fell from grace So take me with my faults Over the mountains Across the seas There's a devil grinning back at me Wherever I'm going Wherever I've been There is always the temptation to sin My father took me by the hand He walked me to the priest To save his kin from shame and evil seed 'Your God will strike you down' he said 'And then he'll watch you burn Now may the Lord have mercy on your soul' No, I won't surrender I've got my eye on you And I'll fight forever To feed the fire inside So hear my words, I'd do it all again... Over the mountains Across the seas There's a devil grinning back at me Wherever I'm going Wherever I've been There is always the temptation See the fires raging by Hide the secrets of your mind I feel it deep within myself Running through my veins Remembering And it will not forget My spirit is waiting It's time to give in To the devil grinning back at me Wherever I'm going Wherever I've been I lived with the temptation I'll die with the temptation to sin
