Story Behind The Song

The lyrics and music are a modern interpretation of what Rasputin might have said if he lived in our day and age

Song Description

The singer tempts the listener to sin, with the claim that sinning makes repentance all the sweeter

Lyrics

Conscience versus instinct
Pleasure versus guilt
A taste of that
A twinge of this
A jab of pain
A jolt of bliss
We try to cut our losses

Luke-warm compromises
Half-hearted sacrifices
A sheepish yes
A tepid no
A prayer, quick,
Against the Foe

We're wasting all our chances
Remember what is written:
The sinner is the inner
Don't pull in the reins, no
Crack the whip and -- go

Sin
Sin
Sin as much as you can
Not just once
Better twice
Then start right over again

Sin
Sin
Do it while you can
Upside down
Back to front
Then start right over again

Your contrition will be deeper
If you've wallowed in the mud
And your prayers will sound sweeter
If you smell of sweat and blood

Sin
Sin
Sin as much as you can
Not just once
Better twice
Then start right over again

Sin
Sin
Sin as best you can
On your own
Or in a crowd
As long as you stick to what's not allowed

Evil is a frightening force
Give in to its hellish charm
Let the body take its course
The soul won't suffer any harm

Sin
Sin
Sin as much as you can
Not just once
Better twice
Then start right over again

Sin
Sin
Sin as much as you dare
Sin in thought
Or sin in deed
As long as you sow the devil's seed

Don't resist a strong temptation
Let it drag you to the ground
It's a safe road to salvation
Up you'll rise, for heaven bound

Say yes to evil
Be your own devil
If you're a sinner
You'll be a winner
Paradise smiles
On the one who defiles
