Saints & Sinners Songtext

von Flogging Molly

Saints and sinners are but we
Twisted wrecks of symmetry

Like broken arrows split
Against this mindless rift we feed
Saints and sinners are
And each others company we seek

Though we took our separate paths
Back to the womb where we collapsed

On buildings full of living bricks
Cementing walls a dangerous fix
Oh, saints and sinners are
Begrudgers who will never mix

Contemplating right from wrong
In retrospect we don't get on

So Armageddon here we come
Who are the chosen ones?
Consequences who you've been
For in damnation Satan grins

We're saints and we're sinners
Nothing more than lost beginners
Both now facing endless falls
It's hell or heaven cry's the pulpits' scorn
The pulpits' scorn

Every saint now has a past
So may the sinners' future last
Every ghost still has a haunt
Where he or she feels they belong

All possessing tortured souls
Confessing all that's yet to be
Saints and sinners are
Lunatics, a vicious breed

So Armageddon, here we come
Who are the chosen ones?
Consequences who you've been
For in damnation Satan grins

We're saints and we're sinners
Nothing more than lost beginners
Both now facing endless falls
It's hell or heaven cries

Oh, we're saints and we're sinners
Nothing more than lost beginners
So wise men crank the guillotine
Where heads will roll for all to see
