The Last Temptation

Goddamned X


The crown upon my head 
The blood down my cheek 
The wood behind my back 
Tires me, makes me weak 
Thoughts in my head 
Start to become real 
See my hand and feet 
Freed of the steel 

The last temptation 

Forty days in the sand 
To meet the final end 
For a world that makes no sense 
Through a pain that never ends 
I await my destiny 
And wonder what could have been 
If I had chosen the right way 
Would I have seen another day 

You come and step to me 
I let you take my hand 
To lead me away 
And make me understand 
Make me forget 
What has become 
With devil's words 
In angel's tongue 

The serpent crawls to my ear 
Whispers to me in soft words 
To live on the fruit of its tree 
Now becomes my urge 

And as I speak 
My final words 
Everyone hears my cry 
None knows my inside 
That I've fallen prey 
Prey to the beast 
Became his servant 
As my body ceased
