Well Brother John went down to the garden,
|
On a long hot summer's day.
|
To watch that girl he would hide in the shadows,
|
As she worked the time away,
|
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
|
And a body to drive men crazy,
|
It was on that day there would be a change,
|
In the world of Brother John;
|
|
She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him,
|
And she took him by the hand,
|
She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy,
|
Would you like to be a man?
|
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall,
|
If you're there we will find out together,"
|
And the Devil said, "There's a place in hell,
|
For the soul of Brother John;"
|
|
Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
|
It's not a dream anymore,
|
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
|
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...
|
|
Well Brother John lay tossing and turning,
|
In his bed in the heat of the night,
|
He heard his name and he went to the window,
|
Where she was in the clear moonlight,
|
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny,
|
He was lost to her body forever,
|
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried,
|
For the soul of Brother John;
|
|
Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
|
It's not a dream anymore,
|
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
|
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...
|
|
Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
|
It's not a dream anymore,
|
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
|
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...
|
|
Temptation is here for Brother John,
|
Temptation is here for Brother John...
