The Cardinal Sin Lyrics - Spleen And Ideal - Dead Can Dance

Sail to the stars on your shining desires 

Reasons there are none 

Try the whiskey made of grain 

When all is said and done 

It all amounts to just the same 

There in your starry eyes 

Lie hopes that have been betrayed 

The cause of your desire 

Can also lead to your demise 

When all is said and done 

It will be you, who pays the price 

As countless fools are often loathe to testify 

It's an illusion of life 

The whole cause of our demise

Sail to the stars on your shining desires 

Lucretia waits in vain 

For the child of her dreams 

Within her aching womb 

There burns a funeral pyre 

There in your starry eyes 

Lie hopes that have been betrayed 

The prize that you claim 

Can never be yours to take 

Like castles in Spain 

Hope is all that will remain 

I abstain from the fools paradise 

It's an illusion of life 

The whole cause of our desires 

Fools are often loathe to testify 

It's an illusion of life 

The whole cause of our demise

Contemplate the world 

And its traitors to the soul 

The forces of derision 

And its legions manifold 

Usurpers of the crown 

All pretenders to the throne 

Your world has lived in chains 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

All in one, one in all 

Fools are often loathe to testify 

It's an illusion of life 

The whole cause of our demise 

It's an illusion of life 

It's an illusion of life 

It's an illusion of life 

It's an illusion of life
