Stiff Little Fingers - Guilty As Sin lyrics

Whispered secrets in cloistered halls Oaths of silence observed Silent witnesses stare from the walls Never saying a word Years of suffering, torment and pain Etched on faces of stone Age of innocence, paradise lost Never to be regained Only heartbreak remains [Chorus:] Oh my, look at the lies as they fall from your mouth I’m surprised they don’t stain you And how do you justify them? The blood on your hands marks you guilty as sin And the circumstances excludes all doubt Send their children along Safe, secure in the arms of the one Who will do them no harm Who will do them no wrong [Chorus] And the truth remains hidden for years Shame and fear do their job Lives in ruins but your standing remains Until someone stands up Now the victims have lifted the lid And what was darkness is light Suffer little children and by Christ they did So long out of sight Going out of their mind. [Chorus x2]
