Story Behind The Song

The story is the age-old struggle of human desire and temptation by the Devil.

Song Description

The singer describes the arrival of the Devil, the tempter of mankind. An innocuous offer with no consequences at first. Spoils include riches, power or the conquest of women. The sinner doesn't even believe in the Devil, but it is too late. Reality sets

Lyrics

Sin
I. I'm knockin' on your door. I'm th' Devil, friend.
You jus' get a whiff, then yo' dog sets in.
He's smellin' a big ole rat.
But, you gotta have some a that.
Sin... ooo, sin!
II. It's too good to be true. But, yo'take th' bait.
Big money guaranteed. Think yo' nest egg's safe.
You riskin' yo' monthly rent.
Time runs out and th' money's spent.
Sin... ooo, sin!
(Chorus)
Sin! It comes in many forms.
Sin! You thinkin' lady's charms.
Sin! Leaves a debt to pay.
Sin! You can't find yo' way... ay...
From sin! Ooo, sin!
III. I'm cuttin' to th' quick. Yo' never called my name.
Don't play by th' rules. That's th' Devil's game.
You don't believe that I exist.
Then, why'd yo' life turn out like this?
Sin... ooo, sin!
IV. Yo' made a big mistake. Yo' can't take it back.
Yo' listed in my book. It's a done deal, Jack.
Yo' choices in life were clear.
I'm waitin' for yo' way down here.
Sin... ooo, sin!
(Chorus)
Sin! It comes in many forms.
Sin! You thinkin' lady's charms.
Sin! Leaves a debt to pay.
Sin! You can't find yo' way... ay...
From sin! Ooo, sin!
(Tag) Sin! Ooo, sin!
