Cardinal sinner, It's been way too long
Nobody ever looked at you
Behind the good, behind the righteous
The shame in what you knew
Oh I was a good boy, I looked up to you
Thought you'd never hurt me, what could I do (A pigeon for you)
Now I'm living in silence, living in pain
Watching you preach, in the good name
Oh I cry every night since I met you, it's you I blame
Outrage, justice, morality lame
I'm not the only victim in your game
How many before, How long has it been
Time has come to pay for your sin
Send me those dollars, buy me away
Bury the story, go on your way
The world is watching, it won't hear you pray
The devil's on your shoulder and you let him play
How I cry every night since I met you, it's you I blame
Cardinal Sinner Hide in rood
Cardinal Sinner Prey on the brood
Cardinal Sinner Living the lewd
Cardinal Sinner What will we do
Cardinal Sinner... Cardinal Sinner
