Lyrics

What's alright for the sinner

Engaging in actions deemed acceptable for sinners.

should be fine for the saint

Actions deemed appropriate for sinners are acceptable for saints as well.

It's the flesh that delivers

The physical body is the common factor leading everyone to the same destination.

us all to the same place

We all share a common fate despite our differences.

Watch your pious behavior

Be mindful of hypocritical conduct.

Who do you think your foolin'?

Questioning the sincerity of one's actions.

If you think it wont claim you

If you believe you are exempt, consequences may still affect you.

your heart drags you to it

One's desires or inclinations may lead them into challenging situations.


I've heard it before

Expressing familiarity with a recurring theme.

If I should take a fall

Acknowledging the potential for failure or downfall.

It's the sinner in me taking over

The darker, sinful aspects of the self may take control.

I've told you before

Reiterating a previous statement or warning.

If I should do you wrong

If harm is done, it's influenced by the darker, harmful side.

It's the killer in me

The capacity for causing harm resides within.

Recognize the killer in you

Encouraging self-awareness of one's harmful tendencies.

and I'll see it through

Committing to follow through on recognizing and addressing one's harmful nature.


Light that falls from the heavens

Referencing divine influence or guidance.

Darkness rise from the tombs

Acknowledging the emergence of negativity or challenges.

Waste of time this pretending

Rejecting the act of pretending or deceiving.

judgement waits for us too

Acknowledging that judgment awaits everyone.

Watch your pious behavior

Repeating the warning to be cautious of hypocritical behavior.

Who do you think your foolin'?

Questioning the authenticity of someone's actions.

If you think it won't claim you

Even if you believe you are exempt, consequences may still impact you.

your heart drags you to it

Desires or inclinations may lead one into challenging situations.
