The Sin And The Sentence lyrics

I heard the passing bells calling out my name

I knew I'd never see another day

I couldn't swim against the tides of blame

I knew there was no other way

You better practice your lines

You better practice your words

I know that real monsters lie

Between the light and the shade

It doesn't matter what you say or feel

When honest men become deranged

They'll genuflect to a lie

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

I saw the dagger eyes staring back at me

I knew I'd never have a chance to bleed

Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men

They bury you before you speak

(The sin and the sentence)

You better practice your lies

You better practice your words

I know that real monsters lie

Between the light and the shade

It doesn't matter what you say or feel

When honest men become deranged

They'll genuflect to a lie

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

Beware those who speak in tongues

For they may call your name

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

They'll genuflect to a lie

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

(To a lie)

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat

(They'll genuflect to a lie)

Beware those who speak in tongues

For they may call your name

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

You condemn me

'Cause you don't understand me

Fuck!

The sin and the sentence

Penance in the fire

The sin and the sentence

The flames grip your throat
