We Don’t Wanna Be No Saints Lyrics – Powerwolf

[Intro: Powerwolf]
In the intro, the band sets the tone for the song with a direct declaration of their stance against being considered saints. This brief statement establishes the rebellious theme of the song, positioning it as an anthem for those who reject conventional moral standards.

[Verse 1: Powerwolf]
In this verse, the singer describes a life driven by lust and sin, embracing their inherent imperfections rather than seeking forgiveness. The imagery of being born as sinners like Adam and Eve and having sacred wine as blood in their veins highlights a rejection of repentance and a celebration of indulgence. The verse conveys a sense of pride in their sinful nature and a desire to break free from the constraints of conventional morality.

[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The chorus reinforces the song’s main message by repeatedly asserting a refusal to conform to saintly ideals. It emphasizes the rejection of heavenly light and moral guidance, celebrating instead a life of sin and rivalry. This repeated declaration strengthens the song’s rebellious tone and underscores the band's commitment to living outside traditional religious constraints.

[Verse 2: Powerwolf]
In the second verse, the singer addresses the futility of relying on religious doctrine during moments of passion or desire. The mention of living a lifetime in prayer forlorn suggests a disillusionment with religious practices and a preference for a life of unrepentant sin. The verse continues to reject the notion of seeking mercy and highlights a commitment to living authentically according to their nature.

[Instrumental Break: Powerwolf]
The instrumental break serves as a powerful interlude, allowing the intensity of the song to build. It reinforces the rebellious spirit of the song through its dynamic and assertive musical elements, reflecting the song's themes of defiance and celebration of sin.

[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The final chorus reiterates the central message of the song, emphasizing the rejection of sainthood and moral restraint. The extended repetition of the chorus and the added lines about celebrating decay and profanation further underscore the band's embrace of a life outside traditional religious and moral frameworks. This section solidifies the song’s anthem-like quality, celebrating rebellion and indulgence.
