“It’s a Sin”, a cover of the 1987 classic by Pet Shop Boys, is the eleventh track on the Deluxe edition of Prequelle.

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
[Bridge: Cardinal Copia]
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
[Verse 3: Cardinal Copia]
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
It's a sin
It's a sin, it's a sin
