| I heard the passing bells calling out my name
|
| I knew I’d never see another day
|
| I couldn’t swim against the tides of blame
|
| I knew there was no other way
|
| You better practice your lines
|
| You better practice your words
|
| I know that real monsters lie
|
| Between the light and the shade
|
| It doesn’t matter what you say or feel
|
| When honest men become deranged
|
| They’ll genuflect to a lie
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| Penance in the fire
|
| (To a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| The flames grip your throat
|
| (They'll genuflect to a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| Penance in the fire
|
| (To a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| The flames grip your throat
|
| (They'll genuflect to a lie)
|
| I saw the dagger eyes staring back at me
|
| I knew I’d never have a chance to plead
|
| Guilty, but in the sight of fallen men
|
| They bury you before you speak
|
| (You don’t understand us)
|
| You better practice your lines
|
| You better practice your words
|
| I know that real monsters lie
|
| Between the light and the shade
|
| It doesn’t matter what you say or feel
|
| When honest men become deranged
|
| They’ll genuflect to a lie
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| Penance in the fire
|
| (To a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| The flames grip your throat
|
| (They'll genuflect to a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| Penance in the fire
|
| (To a lie)
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| The flames grip your throat
|
| (They'll genuflect to a lie)
|
| Beware those who speak in tongues
|
| For they may call your name
|
| You condemn me
|
| 'Cause you don’t understand me
|
| You condemn me
|
| 'Cause you don’t understand me
|
| They’ll genuflect to a lie
|
| The sin and the sentence
|
| Penance in the fire
|
| (To a lie)
|

|
| You condemn me
|
| 'Cause you don’t understand me
|
| Fuck!
