Sin Songtext
von James Gordon

I was born in the howling dark
A serpent′s grin as I played my part
The nagging whisper of a tell-tale heart
But I'm the one to blame

I′ve broken oaths graven on your bones
I've made liars out of saintly thrones
Without me who'd cast the first stone?
That′s the nature of my game

What scares the beasts beneath your bed?
Who corrupts the voices in your head
When you close your eyes who do you let in?
Alone in the dark everybody sins

Who leads the holy into temptation?
Who came first, no pale imitations?
Who′s the itch under your skin?
Here in the dark you can call me sin


I've brought the mighty to their knees
I′ve coaxed monsters to their darkest deeds
A word from these lips is all the faithful need
To remind them of their shame

What scares the beasts beneath your bed?
Who corrupts the voices in your head
When you close your eyes who do you let in?
Alone in the dark everybody sins

Who leads the holy into temptation?
Who came first, no pale imitations?
Who's the itch under your skin?
Here in the dark you can call me sin

I′m the shadow of guilt cast in candlelight
I'm hope snuffed out by your bitter spite
I′m on your mind every day and night
You just have to call my name

What scares the beasts beneath your bed?
Who corrupts the voices in your head
When you close your eyes who do you let in?
Alone in the dark everybody sins


Who leads the holy into temptation?
Who came first, no pale imitations?
Who's the itch under your skin?
Here in the dark you can call me sin
