The sinner

The tide is such 
That no man can stop
An envious heart 
For the love of Venus

That he stood before Vesuvius 
Before him the angry Gods
Bring forth your fire 
Upon our hearts and souls 

Come now Pompeii
Cover your dead 
In your grey sky 
And your black heart 

There we lay 
Our brothers and sisters 
Mothers and fathers 
Transgressions taken away 

The day Vesuvius erupted 
It was the moment  
That your deceit ended 
Forever held by time 

We pray to God 
To forgive our sins 
So that souls shall rise again 
And our hearts may live once more
