Songtext Sin Vandenberg

Sin

I've seen the storms blaze through the sky
I've seen the fires raging by
I hide the secrets of my mind
Things I've done and left behind

Wherever I'm going
Wherever I've been
There will always be... sin

'Take him to the Lord' they said
Leave it to the gods
Let them decide
Cause the writing's on the wall'

Be not betrayed by innocence
Don't dare to break the fall
A fool can tell
He's cursed forever more'

I gave myself to thieves of love
I carried every cross
To find myself and I could never stop

But despite all prayers my heart remained
Hungry in the dark
I fell from grace
So take me with my faults

Over the mountains
Across the seas
There's a devil grinning back at me

Wherever I'm going
Wherever I've been
There is always the temptation to sin

My father took me by the hand
He walked me to the priest
To save his kin from shame and evil seed

'Your God will strike you down' he said
'And then he'll watch you burn
Now may the Lord have mercy on your soul'

No, I won't surrender
I've got my eye on you
And I'll fight forever
To feed the fire inside
So hear my words, I'd do it all again...

Over the mountains
Across the seas
There's a devil grinning back at me
Wherever I'm going
Wherever I've been
There is always the temptation

See the fires raging by
Hide the secrets of your mind

I feel it deep within myself
Running through my veins
Remembering
And it will not forget

My spirit is waiting
It's time to give in
To the devil grinning back at me

Wherever I'm going
Wherever I've been
I lived with the temptation
I'll die with the temptation to sin
No
There will always be temptation
