Sweetest Sin
Take a grip and heave the hammer
As they come marching in
Meet the gates with all your might bounce it out and do it right
Don’t let those bastards win.
I split my head became enamored
With the evil soul within
I fought for glory I fought for Jesus
Now I’m spit on once again.
I’ve tried my body you’ve tried my temper
I can’t believe I can’t remember what happened then in mid December
When I held the hammer with all the glamour
At the church bell’s sound I brought it down
To feel that tingle in my skin.
Again!
Again!
Again!
To feel that tingle in my skin!
Now I sit upon the church’s steeple and look around at all the people
Staring with their wide-eyed fright.
My hands are red your face is null I hear the bell and feel the pull
To raise the hammer with all the glamour to kill you with this final blow.
I look I stare I breathe it in I feel that tingle in my skin
The hardened power so acute so harshly gruesome so absolute
That I just have to grin,
You’re my sweetest sin.
