Barren Paths

This old sin that calls us

Lurking in the dark

It spreads and festers

Deep inside our hearts 

 

The fruit is ripe and pure 

 

Won't you taste Its bitter sweetness

It's as ancient as man

A moment's delight and then you fall

The curse of evil hides within us all 

 

Come with me

There's a garden I want you to see

Hidden in your dreams

A seed is growing

 

The fruit is ripe

The fruit is pure

It's the sweetest of them all

Won't you kiss the serpent

Won't you let him in

Slides around your neck

Your flesh is week

 

Innocence is gone and you're forever forlorn

Cast out of Eden you will never come home

Our path is not one of roses, but of thorns

 

Slither in the slime

Rip apart your new hymen

 

Won't you taste

Its bitter sweetness

It's as ancient as man

A moment's delight

And then you fall

The curse of evil hides within us all 

 

You're reborn Heed the call

Forever more You are fallen

Like a vampire you'll walk the earth

In eternal hunger
