Wage of Sin

I've taken the Lord's name in vain
I covet thy neighbor's wife
Destroying all the things I hate
Even if it meant another life
Looking back at the sins I've committed
Some of them there too much to bear
Pay a penance, kiss the crucifix
This religion to me seems unfair

Who are you that can save me?
I think it's too late to pray
Pay the price for the wage of sin
Don't tell me that I must say
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned!"

Nightmares haunt the dreaming I do
Always thinking of fortune and fame
Tell me, why is it we should listen to priests
Who hide and live in shame?
Looking back at the wage forgotten
Peace of mind comes to very few
But, yeah, we only live once, or is it twice?
Hell's waiting for you

Looking back at the wage forgotten
When He died on the cross for you
What did He prove? What did He gain?
No, I don't even think He knew
His suffering left us with no pity
Both sides fighting for our minds
And dying just to pay for my sins
Your price, to me, is too high
Way too high!
(Aw!)

Nightmares haunt the dreaming I do
Always thinking of fortune and fame
Tell me, why is it we should listen to priests
Who hide and live in shame?
Looking back at the wage forgotten
Peace of mind comes to very few
But, yeah, we only live once, or is it twice?
Hell's waiting for you

Who are you that can save me?
I think it's too late to pray
Pay the price for the wage of sin
Don't tell me that I must say
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned!"
(Aw!)

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned!
