Saints & Sinners Songtext
von Eden’s Curse

Sanctus pecator fit

Your rosary you hold so lovingly
Won′t pardon thee, no contrition

You fell from grace
Like a lamb to the slaughter
You felt disgrace
But you would not falter
Holy man, the angels weep
For what you've done
You kept your face
And your state of honour
Took your place at the sacred altar
You′ll be damned
For the innocence you've stolen

You walk the road to Calvary
Just to find your sanctuary
And your sanctimony
Leads you to the world to come


All angels shed their tears
The unholy souvenirs
(Saints and sinners)
The innocence is gone
All the spirits weeping
Blessed now become the meek
(Saints and sinners)
The saint becomes a sinner now

Your holy creed
You preach so solemnly
Gives no reprieve
From damnation

You wash your face in the holy water
You felt ashamed
Yet you would not alter
Holy man, heaven mourns
Its long lost son
Behind your faith, you repel dishonour
Hid away, like a defaulter
By fate's own hand, justice for the broken

You walk the road to Calvary
Just to find your sanctuary
And your sanctimony
Leads you to the world to come


All angels shed their tears
The unholy souvenirs
(Saints and sinners)
The innocence is gone
All the spirits weeping
Blessed now become the meek
(Saints and sinners)
The saint becomes a sinner now

Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea culpa, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa

All angels shed their tears
The unholy souvenirs
(Saints and sinners)
The innocence is gone
All the spirits weeping
Blessed now become the meek
The saint becomes a sinner now

All angels shed their tears
(Saints and sinners)
The innocence is gone
All the spirits weeping
Blessed now become the meek
(Saints and sinners)
The saint becomes a sinner now
Saints and sinners
