My eyes were opened wide that night
|
when I tasted the apple's poison.
|
This rotten fruit this fruit of the dead
|
was never like the serpent said.
|
Lifeless, callous, defeated
|
lay with her inside the coffin.
|
As my heart is screaming from within.
|
|
To become what they are and see with their eyes.
|
Taste the things they taste,
|
That precious gift is gone forever.
|
Take on all regret the things you cannot forget.
|
Welcome sin and death.
|
|
Seeds of lust have opened the door,
|
The appetite is growing.
|
Perversions scream in the shadows
|
of the seeds that I've been sewing.
|
Seduction is all I see,
|
this temptation's too much for me.
|
I am now embraced by her robes of shame.
|
|
As the maggots devour my skin with the old man's carrion flesh.
|
Who can save me from this wretched corpse hanging on my back.
|
|
Only you lift me from the flames,
|
Watch the world crumble behind me.
|
pierce the vail of darkness when the sinners repent in the name of Jesus.
|
|
Yesterday is crucified on your cross,
|
I see my sins melt away melt away.
|
Goodbye sweet demoness of lust and the shame you brought to me.
|
|
Lies, Lust, Redemption, Trust. (x2)
|
|
Return to me oh spotless purity.
|
Walk away from the emptiness,
|
the hollow corpses and disgusting darkness.
|
Tie yourself to the truth no longer bound by passing lovers.
|
Wait for him my sweet sister in the confines of his holy promise.
|
Love has bound us together,
|
May his blood soak our rings of silver.
|
Washed clean like the snow is white,
|
This time I will do it right.
