Saints & Sinners[Intro]sanctus peccator fit (translation: saint becomes the sinner) [Verse 1] Your rosary you hold so lovingly Won't pardon thee, no contrition [Verse 2] You fell from grace Like a lamb to the slaughter You felt disgrace But you would not falter Holy man, the angels weep For what you've done You kept your face And your state of honour Took your place at the sacred alter You'll be damned For the innocence you've stolen [Bridge] You walk the road to Cavalry Just to find your sanctuary And your sanctimony Leads you to the world to come [Chorus] All angels shed their tears The unholy souvenirs The innocence is gone All the spirits weeping Blessed now become the meek The saint becomes a sinner now [Verse 3] Your holy creed You preach so solemnly Gives no reprieve From damnation [Verse 4] You wash your face in the holy water You felt ashamed Yet you would not alter Holy man, heaven mourns It's long lost son Behind your faith, you repel dishonour Hid away, like a defaulter By fates own hand, justice for the broken [Bridge & Chorus] (Main Solo: Chrism / TK / Chrism / TK) [Breakdown] mea culpa, mea culpa mea maxima culpa [Chorus to end] |
