"Sin" lyrics

The first time he came closer and abused me
So long ago
I was young, knew that no one would believe me
Felt so alone

He convinced me to keep it as a secret
I gave my word
Blamed myself, prayed to Jesus for forgiveness
But stayed unheard

It's a sin
They've been preaching ever since
It's a sin
The confession will begin
Denying what had come to light
They closed their eyes again
But this will end
It's a sin

Now they're hiding behind their false pretenses
They knew about it
And the rapers, they never got their sentence
This makes me sick
To no end we are fighting for indemnity
They ruined our lives
And again we're forsaken, feeling empty
Accused of telling lies

It's a sin
They've been preaching ever since
It's a sin
The confession will begin
Denying what had come to light
They closed their eyes again
But this will end
It's a sin

Never go anywhere with men or women you don't know
But they didn't tell us about the actual threat out there
But nobody warned us against the people we know
The people we trusted
The people we thought were our friends

Lalala...

It's a sin
They've been preaching ever since
It's a sin
The confession will begin
Denying what had come to light
They closed their eyes again
But this will end
It's a sin

It's a sin
And the lies are caving in
It's a sin
No more cover up attempts
Confess the harm to everyone
Don't close your eyes again
Cause that's the sin
It's a sin
