Lyrics[]
This is the story of a man, who conquererd life drink in hand
Ship unmanned, dmarked by genius, channelled good
By some a bit misunderstood, they'd been wrong many times before
Some times our saints are sinners, they blur the lines and lead the way, their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence, the fearless lives of our great saints - our saints
Never a stranger to late nike snake, bite fist fights and empty pints
Unrivaled heists, he led with songs, they sang along
Created bonds, that held so strong, some were right and some were wrong
Some times our saints are sinners, they blur the lines and lead the way, their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence, the fearless lives of our great saints - our saints
It's by the sea and at nights't he end when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James
On the sea by the cliffs he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way, last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way
Some times our saints are sinners, they blur the lines and lead the way, their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence, the fearless lives of our great saints - our saints
