Man of Sin
In a war that's been raging for decades
Over land and sea and heart
I was swallowed by a goddess who left her mark
She spat me out on your shore
And I slept on the warmth of your floor
In the lighthouse on the hill in the dark
Oh the mountains I conquered for you
I drowned myself in the barley
I broke every bone in my body
And I swore I would never love again
I brought my love to a gun fight
I looked to the stars as they aligned
And I knew she would never love a man of sin
They made movies of riches and splendor
But the markets were vacant and bare
She was higher, she was strong, she was pure
The fire that burned on between us
Made a smoke that would dance to the moon
And the world came to know this little fjord
Oh the hours I spent so lonely
Can you believe these things I've done
Watching the smoke rise from this gun
Do I play my part with grace
With these sins scarred on my face
Oh whoa-oo ah oh
Oh whoa-oo ah oh
Over land and sea and heart
I was swallowed by a goddess who left her mark
She spat me out on your shore
And I slept on the warmth of your floor
In the lighthouse on the hill in the dark
Oh the mountains I conquered for you
I drowned myself in the barley
I broke every bone in my body
And I swore I would never love again
I brought my love to a gun fight
I looked to the stars as they aligned
And I knew she would never love a man of sin
They made movies of riches and splendor
But the markets were vacant and bare
She was higher, she was strong, she was pure
The fire that burned on between us
Made a smoke that would dance to the moon
And the world came to know this little fjord
Oh the hours I spent so lonely
Can you believe these things I've done
Watching the smoke rise from this gun
Do I play my part with grace
With these sins scarred on my face
Oh whoa-oo ah oh
Oh whoa-oo ah oh
