Yonder Comes Sin

You wanna talk to me

You got many things to say

You want the spirit to be speaking through

But your lust for comfort get in the way

I can read it in your eyes, oh

What your heart will not reveal

And that old evil burden has been draggin' you down

Bound to grind you 'neath the wheel

Yonder comes sin

(Walkin' like a man, talkin' like an angel)

Yonder comes sin

(Proud like a peacock, swift like an eagle)

Look at your feet, see where they've been to

Look at your hands, see what they been into

Can't you take it on the chin?

Yonder comes sin

You see this woman standin' next to me

She's foreign to your sight

Well, hеr eyes may be a diffеrent colour than mine

But her blood is red and her bones are white

You've been seeking them eternal, spiritual things

But your fifty-dollar smile confirms

You're still tryin' to buy your way into the dreams of them

Whose bodies will be food for worms

Yonder comes sin

(Ready and steady, willing and able)

Yonder comes sin

(Standin' on the chair, standin' on the table)

Look at your feet, see where they've been to

Look at your hands, see what they've been into

Can't you take it on the chin?

Yonder comes sin

I say "See them six wild horses, honey

You say "I don't even see one"

You say "Point them out to me, love"

I say "Honey I got to run"

My brother's blood is crying from the grave

But you can't hear the voice

I stand in jeopardy every hour

Wonderin' what reason you have to rejoice

Yonder comes sin

(Down on your knees, down into the ditches)

Yonder comes sin

(Vomiting up jewels, vomiting up riches)

Look at your feet see where they've been to

Look at your hands, see what they've been into

Enough to put you to tail-spin

Yonder comes sin

Jeremiah preached repentance

To those that would turn from hell

But the critics all gave him such bad reviews

Put him down at the bottom of a well

Kept on talking anyway

As the people were put into chains

Wasn't nobody there to say "Bon voyage"

Or shatter any bottles of champagne

Yonder comes sin

(Cracking that whip, just like a feather)

Yonder comes sin

(Put a knife in your back while talking about the weather)

Look at your feet see where they've been to

Look at your hands, see what they've been into

Can you take it on the chin?

Yonder comes sin
