Saint And The Sin

Intro

Verse 1

He wrote the words that made us fear,

The touch, the breath, the taste, the near.

A holy man with a trembling hand,

He cursed the flesh he couldn't stand.

Pre-Chorus

He saw the devil in a lover's eyes,

A sacred flame that he despised.

But the fire he tried to smother,

Was the same that burned in his own mother.

Chorus

Saint and the sin! The holy and the heat!

Saint and the sin! The prayer and the beat!

You wrote the law, you built the cage,

But desire is older than your holy page!

Verse 2

He spoke of virtue, he spoke of grace,

But he saw the hunger in every face.

He clothed the guilt in sacred cloth,

And called the ecstasy a loss.

Bridge

They built a world on fear and shame,

They tried to burn the living flame.

(The flame...)

But the fire that they tried to hide,

Is the fire that burns on the other side!

Chorus

Saint and the sin! The holy and the heat!

Saint and the sin! The prayer and the beat!

You wrote the law, you built the cage,

But desire is older than your holy page!
