"The Path Of Sin"

He comes over and opens your heart,
lays you low
You can never believe in the art.
It's just for show
A big part of you telling yourself, please
say no.
The little part of you getting its way: 
red means go, and

The path of sin
leads you back again.
The path of sin,
leads you back to him

You won't find it in anyone's book
They won't explain
You've been trying to write it all down
Make it plain.
You don't know what the meaning is for,
still, it's there.
You don't want to belittle yourself, but
you don't care

When the path of sin
leads you back again
The path of sin
leads you back to him

Now it's time to give up your self
No you never believed in hell,
but you know what you need to hear, 
and what you won't listen to

You grew up with a conscience of steel,
and you can't fight
But there's no way you'll be letting yourself
down, no! Not tonight
It's as simple as what you allow. 
Nothing more.
You need something to take
what you feel and make

it 

pure, 

When the path of sin
leads you back again
The path of sin
leads you back to him

Now it's time to give up your self, no
you never believed in hell, but
you know what you need to hear,
and who you won't listen to.
