Cardinal Sin

no-one knows what lies behind my stare
my eyes do not reflect
and no-one knows the dreams I bear
the world I must protect
within my soul
within my soul
a thousand kings have died
I wanna know
I wanna go where horizon touches sky
tell me
tell me
all the lies again
words to justify
tell me
tell me
that it's worthwile
to get behind
the why's were all is true
I don't care if I should die today
my history remains you know,
I never really paid not even half of what I gained
a little light a second sight is all that I demand
I wanna fly I wanna die where the ocean meets the sand
tell me
tell me
all the lies again
words to justify
tell me
tell me
that it's worthwile
to get behind
the why's were all is true
deep within my mind
it's getting clearer now
all I rejected remains
tell me
tell me
all the lies again
words to justify what I must do
tell me
tell me
that it's worthwile
to get behind
the why's were all is true
