The Sin and the Sentence

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! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. The sin and the sentence, penance in the fire! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. I saw their dagger eyes staring back at me, I knew I'd never have a chance to plead. Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men, they bury you before you speak. The sin and the sentence! 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! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. The sin and the sentence, penance in the fire! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. Beware those who speak in tongues, for they may call your name! You condemn me, because you don't understand me! You condemn me, because you don't understand me! They'll genuflect to a lie! The sin and the sentence, penance in the fire! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. The sin and the sentence, penance in the fire! The sin and the sentence, the flames grip your throat. Beware those who speak in tongues, for they may call your name! You condemn me, because you don't understand me! You condemn me, because 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.
