Cardinal Sin Songtext

von Dalbello

We fell into their trap
They stood naked before our eyes
Sacred beads in their hands
Before we knew it we were in their command

All day--all night
They prayed for our souls
And we prayed for our lives
All day--again and again
They never let us forget about
Cardinal Sin

Inescapable facts
Tied us up like conditional contracts

All day--all night
We prayed for our souls
And they played with our lives
All day--again and again
We swore that we'd never become one of them

We didn't know where to begin
With or without
Cardinal Sin
We didn't know where to begin
With or without--with or without

Years of bold tradtion bound with piety
Slow manipulation cause anxiety
They try to make us guilty with our innocence
So we never know the difference

All day--all night
They danced for our souls
And we prayed for our lives
All day--again and again
We swore that we'd never become one of them

We didn't know where to begin
With or without
Cardinal Sin
We didn't know where to begin (renounce our vows)
With or without
Cardinal Sin
We didn't know where to begin (or do we confess)
With or without
Cardinal Sin

All day--all night
They never let us forget Cardinal Sin
All day-again and again
We swore that we'd never become one of them
All day--all night
They never let us forget Cardinal Sin
