there are ways that i have sinned

(and) forgotten what i've known

where did i go wrong?

i know the devil has his ways

to color-code my days

using darkest shades

if you heard what your father told you

maybe you would not feel estranged

in a world that's been derailed

if you listen to the beast inside you

then there is no one else to blame

and no place left to escape ... oh, no ...

oh, it's the rain

and the flood

the swelling of guilt in my soul

burning me

on the stake

with its stone cold flame

...stone cold flame...

so is this the way i need to live:

taking more than i give

in world that's out of sync?

(and) once again i feel his hate

flowing into my veins

driving me insane ... oh, no ...

oh, it's the rain

and the flood

the swelling of guilt in my soul

burning me

on the stake

with its stone cold flame

all my life i've sinned...

stone cold the flame...
