lyrics

How many sins must a fair maiden make.
Before the road to redemption she must take?
Lord, if she must feel pain just to make it through the day.
My fire sign lover, let me wash your tears away.

Born into this world with a scream without a hope.
Abandoned by the steps of the Catholic Church.
She was thrown to the wolves on the dark side of the road.
This fire sign lover's gonna prove she's no mistake.

Down on bended knee she was torn and she was burned.
By Sister Mary and a crown of broken thorns.
But she managed to survive all the dungeons and the dives.
This damaged girl has cast off all of her chains.

Looking to the Lord for a gentle guiding hand.
But he only helps the ones who help themselves.
It was late one midnight mass, she stole the wine and took the cash.
They were saving for the roof on a rainy day.

Destined to the hell hole that she calls her life.
She took to the gutter like a moth to a burning flame.
But without a moment's haste she laid it all to waste.
And cursed all the souls that stood in her way.
She cursed all the souls that stood in her way.
She cursed all the souls that stood in her way.

How many times must her cold heart be hurt.
Before it opens to the warmth of the summer sun?
Lord, if she must feel pain just to make it through the day.
My fire sign lover, let me wash your tears away.
