Oh, oh
Oh, oh
 
God save us every one
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
 
God save us every one
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
The sins of our father (4, 3)
The sins of our young (2, 1)
