Saints and Sinners
© 2007 Nicolas Valenzuela

This is my universe
This is my world
You are my living curse
They are my pearls

You seem to think because you possess
Objects that make the others obsess
That yours is the power and yours is the right
To stain with iniquity all in your sight

I'm not in view so you do the deed
What you don't know is I see them bleed

They are the saints
You are the sinners
They are the true lovers
You are the spinners
I'm coming for them and I'm coming for you
But you won't like what I'm going to do

Yahweh, Allah and others galore
You think your own belief makes me your whore
Your own belief doesn't make the ride free
How you treat others is how you treat me

Scurry off, do your deeds, do what you will
Pretend I don't know of the pain you instill
Tell yourself there is just what you see
You can fool others, but you can't fool me

I'm not in view so you do the deed
What you don't know is I see them bleed

In those quiet moments, when you choose to pray
And ask for whatever I might send your way
Remember I'm listening, and yes, I can tell
Where your heart truly and surely does dwell

I know the saints
I know the sinners
I know the true lovers
I know the spinners

Justice for them and justice for you
There's no way out of what I'm going to do
They are the saints, and you made them suffer
You are the sinners, and I kept you buffered

But there comes a time when the buffer will end
There comes a time when all strong backs will bend
You will get mercy only as you have shown
And I will give back to you down to the bone

Yes, I will give back to you down to the bone
