The english lyrics of 'forgiveness'

[HanabiChick]

I've been listening to it again, and I can definitely hear this part:

But I wanted only keep my love
Every cardinal sins
Every immoral things
But I was holding on for my love

For the backing singers, I can make out what they're singing, but just the first part :

War and distraction

I think it's not those words, I think it's 'war and destruction' - that would make more sense, and when I listen that's what I hear.
