Lyrics

Poet Prophet Sinner Saint
© 2015 Sahlen-Starburst

(spoken)
A dim lit bar, cold winter night
A young man downs a shot
A contract staring in his face
Should he sign or not
Its life or death, it's him or her
The reaper says it's so
A dim lit bar one winter night
To sign away his soul

(sung)
(chorus)
Poet, prophet, sinner, saint
Help me find my fate
I know I left it somewhere
But life is getting late
So many turns so many falls
Were all the choices wrong?
Poet prophet sinner saint
You've been here all along

(sung)
He saw the future in his dreams
His wife with child would die
Repeatedly it haunted him
But miracles survive
A bargain with the reaper
A contract in the bar
His signature to save her life
But he must au revoir

(chorus)
Poet, prophet, sinner, saint
Help me find my fate
I know I left it somewhere
But life is getting late
So many turns so many falls
Were all the choices wrong?
Poet prophet sinner saint
You've been here all along

(spoken)
(bridge)
Poet, prophet, sinner, saint
Just one and the same
His future child won't know him
Yet he'll share his name

(chorus)
Poet, prophet, sinner, saint
Help me find my fate
I know I left it somewhere
But life is getting late
So many turns so many falls
Were all the choices wrong?
Poet prophet sinner saint
You've been here all along
