Lyrics
Cardinal Sin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where do you go when your conscience takes over
Do you crawl to your corner and cry
Did you imagine, that no one would notice
Just a secret to take when you die
All the world is watching you
Every tongue is screaming
Sinner
How are your dreams? Do they claw at your sleep?
Making darkness a place you despise
Where is the God, that once was your strength
Are you sure he was there from the start?
All the world is watching you, nowhere you can hide
Every tongue is screaming, only satan hears your cries
When you sin cardinal sin, you make your bed and on it you must
Lie, you must lie
And your future's looking grim, but did you ever give a damn
About the child, he's running wild
When you sin cardinal sin, don't expect the world will treat you
Well
Do you think that God will forgive you all your sins now
When you need to sell your soul?
We point the finger, sin cardinal sin
Laugh in your face, sin cardinal sin
We point the finger, laugh in your face
Cause you're no better than the rest of the human race
Oh sin cardinal sin, oh sin cardinal sin
