I've seen the storms blaze through the sky

I've seen the fires raging by

I hide the secrets of my mind

Things I've done and left behind.

Wherever I'm going

Wherever I've been

There will always be... sin.

'take him to the lord' they said

Leave it to the gods

Let them decide

Cause the writing's on the wall'.

Be not betrayed by innocence

Don't dare to break the fall

A fool can tell

He's cursed forever more'.

I gave myself to thieves of love

I carried every cross

To find myself and I could never stop.

But despite all prayers my heart remained

Hungry in the dark

I fell from grace

So take me with my faults.

Over the mountains

Across the seas

There's a devil grinning back at me.

Wherever I'm going

Wherever I've been

There is always the temptation to sin.

My father took me by the hand

He walked me to the priest

To save his kin from shame and evil seed.

'your god will strike you down' he said

'and then he'll watch you burn

Now may the lord have mercy on your soul'.

No, I won't surrender

I've got my eye on you

And I'll fight forever

To feed the fire inside

So hear my words, I'd do it all again...

Over the mountains

Across the seas

There's a devil grinning back at me

Wherever I'm going

Wherever I've been

There is always the temptation.

See the fires raging by

Hide the secrets of your mind.

I feel it deep within myself

Running through my veins

Remembering

And it will not forget.

My spirit is waiting

It's time to give in

To the devil grinning back at me.

Wherever I'm going

Wherever I've been

I lived with the temptation

I'll die with the temptation to sin

No

There will always be temptation.
