Tempt me with your blackened lies
And I will welcome you into my bed
Thus you'll leave with coward cries
To the banshee that you've wed
On filth stained knees you crawl
Begging for a fantasy to fill your head
One, two, three thrusts you fall
And all your dreams are dead
For the serpent comes and the serpent steals
Exactly whatever I feel I may need
While you lay working out all of your deals
On your misery I shall feed
With lipstick collar you'll tread home
To your prude hypocrite housewife
And still I will not feel alone
Because there is more to my life
Than church pews and pressured vows
Wrapped in gold on a finger
The curtain falls, I take my bow
But on you I still linger
Shower to push the guilt away
But my mark will never fade
For when you seek Christ on Sunday
You'll confess with succubus you laid
The devil will hear and he will come to call
For weakness is his fun
On filth stained knees you will crawl
To a deeper hell with loaded gun.
