Sins of the Father
My one and only son I love
I just want you to know
No matter what you think of me
This is how it goes
Your mother and I, Lord bless her
We started out in love
We had a sacred union
Joined by God above
Life for us was precious
We lived the family way
She trusted and endeared me
But then I began to stray
Lost in a world of abandon
Tempted by ways of lust
She was the glue of the family
I was the one not to trust
Sin was the song of the siren
I was the ship on the sea
A serpent wrapped around me
And whispered softly to me
"You know it's me you desire
Forget the things that you've known
Come with me to my heaven
And you'll be the king on my throne"
My mind was numbed by the pleasure
My soul was trapped within me
I knew I stood in the fire
Yet I danced in the chance to be free
But fires eventually fade
And smoke will clear with the wind
Leaving you standing there naked
Exposed by the way that you sinned
So don't be lead by temptation
Stay with the one that you love
'Cause sin has the wings of a raven
But love has the wings of a dove.
Rockman :-)
