Always the Woman

The devil called me down to the lake

I thought that he was you but I made a mistake

I was too eager and could not see

The trap that he had lain for me

But that’s a cop out—i played my part

By tempting Tobey with the promise of my heart

How long have I had this blind spot?

It was so simple, still I forgot ...

It’s always the woman

The devil will claim

It’s always the woman

Her birthright is shame

Her body’s desire

The cause of her chastening

The genesis of

The genesis of

All suffering

Since the beginning

It's in your DNA

Your mother’s DNA

Your mother passed her wantonness down to you as hers did to her

From mother to daughter and to all mankind

The root of all evil. The fruit of all evil. In your body

Your body

The serpent slithered down through the years

I didn’t hear his subtle hissing in my ears

Though I loved Tobey I believe

I caused his downfall

I’m just like Eve

And just like eve my body’s been cursed

And I don’t know if it can be reversed

And the serpent wears a new disguise

He’s clothed in flesh between my thighs

‘Cause it’s always the woman

The serpent distracts

It’s always the woman

The serpent attracts

That's why I am cursed

Why I am cursed

I ate the fruit

I wasn't coerced

I disobeyed

I disobeyed

I beg you Father God

I'm so afraid

Don't desert Me

Please let me atone

But if you can't forgive me

If you just can't heal me

I pray that you won't leave me alone
