Dead Can Dance The Cardinal Sin
Sail to the stars on your shining desires Reasons there are none Try the whisky made of grain When all is said and done It all amounts to just the same There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have been betrayed The cause of your desire Can also lead to your demise When all is said and done It will be you who pays the price As countless fools are often loathe to testify Its an illusion of life The whole cause of our demise Sail to the stars on your shining desires Lucretia waits in vain For the child of her dreams Within her aching womb There burns a funeral pyre There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have been betrayed The prize that you claim Can never be yours to take Like castles in Spain Hope is all that will remain Abstain from the fools paradise It's an illusion of life The whole cause of our desires Fools are often loathe to testify It's an illusion of life The whole cause of our demise Contemplate the world And its traitors to the soul The forces of derision And its legions manifold Usurpers of the crown All pretenders to the throne Your world has lived in chains All in one, one in all (x9) Fools are often loathe to testify It's an illusion of life The whole cause of our demise It's an illusion of life (x4)
