Sinner - Vincent T.Vok

With teeth and nails I devoured the lamb

To prove to you I was a man

A sacrifice upon the dishes

The meat was tender like your kisses

Soft and warm and unforgiving

It lay dead while I sat living

It was killed to be my dinner

I am the man, I am the sinner

With tools and weapons I ruined the land
And scraped the dirt from my hands
I killed the children and kept the riches
I built my house upon the ditches
Among the graves of those still living
I took their names and left them nothing
I shed their blood that holy winter
I am the man, I am the sinner

With smiles and lies I took your love
To show myself to be above
The hate that I myself had grown
In the trees when I was alone
With no one but a harmless snake
And a woman I knew and later forsaked
I do this still to be a winner
I am the man, I am the sinner

With whips and nails I watched him die
While I myself felt crucified
A sacrifice above the heavens
His body sank while his spirit blended
With the glory that I desire
But cannot find in the fire
On the planet that grows dimmer
I am the man, I am the sinner
