Hilastherion - A Sinner's Song of Desperation Lyrics

I confess that I was wrong all the time
I thought I was the number one
The superior, all should bow for me
A holy man, God's favourite child

I showed no weakness, only strength
Everyone thought I was the one that couldn't fall
I blamed man's sin, while struggling with my own
I became my own god, judging them all

Please hear a sinner's song of desperation
Hear my cry from my rotten inside
I thought I was the chosen one
But now I see how everything has fallen down

I lay burdens on people's back
And their wealth I took to feed my desires
I said "God needs your money"
But not a penny did He receive from me

I showed no weakness, only strength
Everyone thought I was the one that couldn't fall
I blamed man's sin, while struggling with my own
I became my own god, judging them all

Please hear a sinner's song of desperation
Hear my cry from my rotten inside
I thought I was the chosen one
But now I see how everything has fallen down

I showed no weakness, only strength
Everyone thought I was the one that couldn't fall
I blamed man's sin, while struggling with my own
I became my own god, judging them all

Please hear a sinner's song of desperation
Hear my cry from my rotten inside
I thought I was the chosen one
But now I see how everything has fallen down
