The Sins of Saints

Unwavering Presence (virtues-patience)

Verse 1
You sip like wine from a crystal glass (mmm…)
Leave me hollow, shadows that you pass (oh…)
Tes mains linger where they don’t belong
I hum the tune of giving too long (hmm… trop longtemps…)

[Chorus]
Veylan de Sang, a quiet song (mmm…)
You take the night while I hum along (oh…)
Veylan de Sang, soft and low (hmm…)
You drain the light, but I still glow (je brille encore…)

Verse 2
I pour the river, let it flow unseen (mmm…)
Your touch is heavy, your eyes serene (oh…)
Des murmures where you leave your mark
I trace the fire that fades to dark (mmm… fade…)

[Chorus]
Veylan de Sang, a quiet song (mmm…)
You take the night while I hum along (oh…)
Veylan de Sang, soft and low (hmm…)
You drain the light, but I still glow (je brille encore…)

Bridge / Ad-Lib Section
Drink, take, and disappear (mmm…)
Hands like smoke, yet I feel you here (oh…)
Veylan, Veylan, quietly… (mmm…)
Je me relève, from shadows clear (hmm…)

[Final Chorus]
Veylan de Sang, a quiet song (mmm…)
You take the night while I hum along (oh…)
Veylan de Sang, soft and low (mmm…)
You drain the light, but I still glow (je brille encore…)

Verse 1
I watch the fire behind your eyes
Every glance a storm you can’t disguise
You reach for gold that isn’t yours
Every want a cut, every step a war

Pre-Chorus
A hunger coils beneath your skin
Dragging you to the dark within

Chorus
Hungry eyes, a velvet flame
Reaching out, but it’s a game
I watch you twist, I watch you fall
The shadow whispers… you want it all
*(ad-libs idea: “ooooh… yeah…”)

Verse 2
Velvet whispers curl around your form
Electric tension before the storm
I see the thrill you try to keep
A secret fire that never sleeps

Pre-Chorus
A hunger coils beneath your skin
Dragging you to the dark within

Chorus
Hungry eyes, a velvet flame
Reaching out, but it’s a game
I watch you twist, I watch you fall
The shadow whispers… you want it all
*(ad-libs idea: “ooooh… yeah…”)

Bridge (raspy, almost whispered)
The teeth of desire gnaw slow and deep
I watch the shadow you cannot leave
Every glance, every sigh, every little sin
I follow the fire, see the dark begin

Chorus (final, punchy, hypnotic)
Hungry eyes, a velvet flame
Reaching out, but it’s a game
I watch you twist, I watch you fall
The shadow whispers… you want it all
I see your fire… you crave it all
*(ad-libs idea: “ooooh… yeah…”)

Outro (fade smoky, hypnotic)
The shadow follows… you can’t let go
The shadow follows… watch the fire grow

In Your Hands (Featuring Bubby Lewis on Bass) (virtues - love)

Verse 1
The clock is spinning, but the hands don’t move
Jaws locked tight, I need the groove
Temptation gnawing, teeth on the bone
But I hold it steady, it won’t be long

Pre-Chorus
I hold steady…
Wait—wait—hold on—hold on
Chaos surrounds me…
Can I stand strong

Chorus
Anticipation, yeah, it cuts like a blade
Silence in the fury, to the wait I’m enslaved
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the cure
The longer that I’m waiting, the stronger I endure

Verse 2
Heartbeat pounding like a war drum sound
Every urge inside me wants to tear it down
But I sip slow poison with a steady hand
‘Cause control’s the weapon they can’t understand

Pre-Chorus
I hold steady…
Wait—wait—hold on—hold on
Chaos surrounds me…
Can I stand strong

Chorus
Anticipation, yeah, it cuts like a blade
Silence in the fury, to the wait I’m enslaved
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the cure
The longer that I’m waiting, the stronger I endure

Bridge
Tick… tick… tick…
Every second is mine
Tick… tick… tick…
Like a fuse on a line
Hold it, hold it—
‘Til the moment I strike
Patience is power,
Patience is fight

Final Chorus
Anticipation, oh, it runs through my veins
The smell of the rain, the weight in the air
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the prayer
The stillness before motion, I’ll still be there

Teeth on the Bones (virtues - patience)

Lust in the shadows, hunger in the flame
Gluttony whispers, and Greed calls my name
Sloth drags me under, Wrath burns my skin
Envy keeps countin’, Pride says I’ll win
But the sins of saints don’t stay in the dark
They carve their lessons deep in the heart

Every fall, every scar, every broken road I’ve known
Turns to light in the cracks of stone

The Saints all know, the Saints all sing
Hope’s a crown from the suffering
The sins of saints don’t chain the soul
Through fire and ashes, we are whole

Lust turns to Love, Gluttony to Grace
Greed gives to Mercy, Sloth learns the pace
Wrath bows to Patience, Envy to Trust
Pride falls to Humble, returnin’ to dust
Oh, the Saints all know, it’s carved in the bone
Every sin’s shadow makes the light our own

Every wound, every cry, every burden I let go
Turns to hope in the seeds we sow

The Saints all know, the Saints all sing
Hope’s a crown from the suffering
The sins of saints don’t chain the soul
Through fire and ashes, we are whole

Mercy bends, mercy breaks
Hope don’t die, it only shakes
Even saints have sins to bear
But every sinner finds hope there

The Saints all know, the Saints all know
The sins of saints, the sins of saints
Can’t steal the light, can’t steal the light
Hope remains, hope remains

The Saints all know…
The sins of saints…
Hope still grows…
Through the sins of saints…
