The Cardinal Sin

Sail to the stars on your shining desiresReasons there are none
Try the whiskey made of grain
When all is said and done
It all amounts to just the sameThere in your starry eyes
Lie hopes that have been betrayedThe cause of your desire
Can also lead to your demise
When all is said and done
It will be you, who pays the priceAs countless fools are often loathe to testify
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demiseSail to the stars on your shining desiresLucretia waits in vain
For the child of her dreams
Within her aching womb
There burns a funeral pyreThere in your starry eyes
Lie hopes that have been betrayedThe prize that you claim
Can never be yours to take
Like castles in Spain
Hope is all that will remainI abstain from the fools paradise
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our desiresFools are often loathe to testify
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demiseContemplate the world
And its traitors to the soul
The forces of derision
And its legions manifoldUsurpers of the crown
All pretenders to the throne
Your world has lived in chains
All in one, one in allAll in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in allAll in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in allFools are often loathe to testify
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demiseIt's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
