Jezebel

Jezebel was free She wouldn't be denied With wolves hungry at her feet She cursed them with her eyes Said "If you kiss me with your teeth You will surely die I don't want you at my door I give my pleasure to the Lord I don't want you at my door I give my pleasure to the Lord." Winter came and autumn died There wasn't any rain Men went to Jezebel To take her for a slave Said "If you run away We'll chase you to the grave Better do as you are told Fetch us water from your well Better do as you are told Fetch us water from your well." The sun burned out the sky Rivers ceased to flow Jezebel would never cry She could take it on her own Into a bed of fire Forced to lie alone Said "Though you cut me with a knife My blood will never fill your bones Though you cut me with a knife My blood will never save your soul." Jezebel was strong and brave Painted like a queen She threw her scorn down at the dogs Held her head up in defeat And from a tower sinking down Into eternity Said "Though my temple be destroyed I give my pleasure to the Lord Though my temple be destroyed I give my pleasure to the Lord."
