They stood naked before our eyes
Sacred beads in their hands
Before we knew it we were in their command
They prayed for our souls and we prayed for our lives
They never let us forget about cardinal sin
Tied us up like conditional contracts
We prayed for our souls and they played with our lives
We swore that we'd never become one of them
We didn't know where to begin
With or without cardinal sin
We didn't know where to begin
With or without -- with or without
Years of bold tradition bound with piety
Slow manipulation cause anxiety
Try to make us guilty with our innocence
So we never know the difference
They danced for our souls and we prayed for our lives
We swore that we'd never become one of them
We didn't know where to begin
With or without cardinal sin
We didn't know where to begin
With or without cardinal sin
We didn't know where to begin
They never let us forget cardinal sin
We swore that we'd never become one of them
They never let us forget cardinal sin
