LYRICS; CITY OF SIN BY JUDE JARDA

City of Sin, by Jude Antoine Jarda 2007
I've been bedeviled by a bottle of beer
On new year's day
My whole world seemed okay
But I was possessed, paralysed,
Staring at the full moon,
My state was one of a poltroon
Once I was gone, I became a nobody
In my eyes, everybody looked so ugly
A genuine liar using gruesome manners to
throw each one in nothingness, in my nest
An agnostic selling amulets to protect one from the anarchy ruled by some punk ass entity
Useless gallantry to lessen my liability
Trying to break my integrity
Brainless chain reaction to ruin my self-esteem
I was looking for a remedy
Once I was gone, I became...
Nobody, in my eyes, everybody looked so ugly
Brainless chain reaction to ruin my self-esteem
I was looking for a remedy
I was looking for You, Lord
to dry all my tears
to lead me away from the roads of sin
Hoping that You, Lord,
who knows about all my dreams
would keep me away from the roads of sin
What was I thinking?
Was I trying to find myself
like a renegade, like a buccaneer
crossing all the borders with my peers
Was I looking for my death,
playing with fire, with forbidden games
and like a felon, show no shame
Way below the nimbus where the sun is not invited
the masquerade is magnified, I testify
I'm so tired to be a fugitive
Will someone hear the dogs complain?
Revelations won't go down the drain
I lost my road in the city
I lost my road in the city of Sin
Thieves tried to steal my soul in that city
A place named after me
I lost my word in the city
I lost my word in the city of Sin
And if you find my word in that city
Please bring it back to me
I lost my soul in the city
I lost my soul in the city of Sin
I lost my soul in the city
but I found my Lord in that same city
