These are the streets on which we live
With clouded air and turbid kin
Who have nothing to give
Though the sun has gone away
It will come back again some day
We'll wait all night, we'll burn and bite
Until our lives give way
We are the sinners
Holding on to the splinters
That once were our homes
But its time to let go
We are the sinners
These are the ones who need to change
And take the path towards better lives
Or find themselves estranged
Though the sun could come today
It waits for you to pave the way
With hardened hands the strike will land
Until you hear the things we say
We are the sinners
Who set light to the tinder
And burn these faults down
So the lost can be found
We are the sinners
These are the promises I need
To satisfy the minds of those
Who will get down their knees
For every one left in the grave
There'll be a thousand which I'll save
And tall you'll stand, just take my hand
To the lives that long you've craved
I am the sinner
Walking out of the cinder
Your future secured
By the pain I endure
I am the sinner
You left us alone
And we've had enough
All that we know is
You left us...
You left us...
And we are the sinners
