Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The only sin in this world of pain
In this world of shame
In this world of heartache
The only sin in this world unjust
In this world of lust
In this world distrustin'
[Verse 2]
The only sin in this world corrupt
Where the passions erupt
And they end abrupt is a crime
Where no great gestures cry
Its eyes with no great evil shine
[Verse 3]
Here among the vicious beasts
With their blood lust feast
Ordained by black priests
[Verse 4]
Here among poison viper's bite
A police gunfight
In the unknown night is a man
With no great master plan
No deadly weapon clutchin' in his hand
[Verse 5]
You'll never see the light
In this darkest night
Never see the light, never see the light
When the boredom comes
You'll never see the light
In this darkest night
Never see the light, never see the light
When the boredom comes
If you're one of the boring ones
[Verse 6]
The only crimes in this violent place
With lies two-faced
Where love's disgraceful
Crimes committed with sharpened knives
And wasted lives
Of those who are forced to show
And murder the peace dove
There's no higher callin'
Coming from above
[Verse 7]
You'll never see the light
Quell this appetite
Never see the light, never see the light
When the boredom comes
[Verse 8]
You'll never see the light
Quell this appetite
Never see the light, never see the light
When the boredom comes
When you're one of the boring ones
Alright
