Cold and dark on this road I left You for
There's nothing here to love or to adore
A pitiful regret is all that's left of me
Open up these darkened eyes
It turned out they couldn't see

This is the sinner's cry
This is the sinner's cry
This is, this is the sinner's cry

I had You on my mind
At least a little while
But claws of sinful paths
Know their way to lie
I turned my back on holiness
I turned my back and died
And all that I can sing now
Is the sinner's cry
