The Cardinal Sin

Sail to the stars

on your shining desires

Reasons? There are none!

Cried the whiskey laden brain

When all is said and done

it amounts to just the same

There in your starry eyes lie

hopes that have been betrayed

The cause of your desire

can also lead to your demise

When all is said and done

It will be you who pays the price

As countless fools are

often loathe to testify

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

Sail to the stars

on your shining desires

Lucretia waits in vain

for the child of her dreams

Within her aching womb

there burns a funeral pyre

There in your starry eyes lie

hopes that have been betrayed

The prize that you claim

can never be yours to take

like castles in Spain

Hope is all that will remain

Abstain from the fools paradise

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our desire

Fools are often loathe to testify

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

Contemplate the world

and its traitors to the soul

The forces of an derision

and its legions manifold

Usurpers of the crown

All pretenders to the throne

Your world is linked in chains

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

All in one, one in all

Fools are often loathe to testify

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

It's an illusion of life

It's an illusion of life

It's an illusion of life

It's an illusion of life
