lyrics

Mariella:
From when I first saw you I was drawn to you,
I could see in your eyes there was more to you,
Surrounded by sin, your soul lost in the dark
I’ll take you from here, put you on to God’s path,
God’s love can purify you,
Cleanse the sin that is inside you,
God’s love can purify you,
Fix the defect deep inside you,
Fix the defect deep inside.

She is a sinner but God’s love can save her, I’ve seen something pure in her eyes,
But they say that she’s immoral to the core, she is the Devil’s whore,
She will bring sickness, with sin she will blight us, temptation she brings to their minds
I thought that God’s love could make her clean, but she cannot be redeemed,
Forever broken, by Him she’s forsaken, and He has decreed she must die.

She is a sinner and God’s love can’t save her, although I wish it were a lie,
I don’t understand the way she makes me feel, this emotion can’t be real,
My heart, I adore her, unnatural lust for her, the truth I can no longer deny,
Inside of me there is this fatal flaw, a perversion to my core,
Forever broken, by Him I’m forsaken, God see’s my defect inside

I am a sinner and God’s love can’t save me, I know now that I must die.

I am a sinner and God’s love can’t save me, I know now that I must die,
God’s love can’t purify me, there’s a defect deep inside me,
I am a sinner and God’s love can’t save me, I know now that I must die,
God’s love can’t purify me, there’s a defect deep inside me,
I am a sinner and God’s love can’t save me, I know now that I must die.

I must die!
I must die!
