Postcards from the Walls of Sin
(Words & Music: Daniel Catarino)

Throw a penny in the wishing well
Someone screaming from the depths of hell
Flesh and bones stretched out in the yellow sun
Chasing endless shadows on the run
Tides will turn and waves will spin around
Someone throws a penny in the ground
An endless crowd will gather round the block
Chanting anthems to the beating of the clock

Throwing rocks at the gates of the innocent
Something’s wrong so there must be one to blame

Throw a penny in a guitar case
Someone robs a blind man’s cane
And walks out in laughter swinging it in the air
What is worth ain’t what is fair to some
Life goes on, the innocent crowd the streets
Throwing back the rocks in disbelief
Time will stiff the ones without a home
Make believe that you are not alone

Tides will turn at the gates of the innocent
Something’s wrong so there must be one to drown

If you try to escape
The walls will break and you’re out
If you try to be sure
The walls will shape and you’re down
Locked again in your dreams

Throw a penny in the cement floor
Someone waves hello from the neighbour’s door
Life goes on and heaven must be hell
Someone screaming from a prison cell
Something’s wrong they say in a twisted grin
Hanging postcards from the walls of sin
Know that time will swing in the devil’s axe
Time will melt as if it’s made of wax

What goes on at the gates of the innocent
Something’s wrong and there’s nothing to repent
