Forgive my thoughts of these impure desires
For they are the work of the beast
Under God's watch I have played with the fire
The force of the serpent unleashed
Formless and voiceless, yet still in command
Twisting the faith of the meek
Losing myself in the realm of the damned
Fearing The pleasures I seek

Sever the flesh with shards of the devil's disease
Wallow in shame, succumb to heresy
This mouth that once sang his praise now spews cryptic filth
Satan has tightened his grip!

Bewitched, obsessed, possessed
Beyond the convent walls!
Seduced, oppressed, unblessed
Among these sacred halls!
Bewitched, obsessed, possessed
Beyond the convent walls!
Seduced, oppressed, unblessed
Among these sacred halls!

Shed sacred flesh for these forces unknown
As into the threshold I creep
Beguilt and berate me for sins unatoned
The scars of impiety weep
Lambs of hypocrisy follow the lies
Blasphemous I have become
Off I descend into the womb of the night
Heading into the unknown

Sever the flesh with shards of the devil's disease
Wallow in shame, succumb to heresy
This mouth that once sang his praise now spews cryptic filth
Satan has tightened his grip!

Bewitched, obsessed, possessed
Beyond the convent walls!
Seduced, oppressed, unblessed
Among these sacred halls!
Bewitched, obsessed, possessed
Beyond the convent walls!
Seduced, oppressed, unblessed
Among these sacred halls!

Lechery within the house of God
Atop the altar - devil's seed
Greet the predatory afterglow
As the congregation bleed

Fornicator! Sacrilegious bitch!
With the serpent in her eyes
The perversion of the crucifix
Christ denied!

Bewitched, obsessed, possessed
Beyond the convent walls!
Seduced, oppressed, unblessed
Among these sacred halls!
