Half step to seduction

Come closer, my child
I've something to show and something to tell,
I'll take you out of
This Maelstrom of lies where insanity dwells,

Where purity's spoiled and is starting to fester,
Where reverend shepherd has turned into jester,
Where a gesture of shame is twin sister for mercy
And virtue is measured by thickness of purses...

Come closer, my child,
Intention is sacred when wish equals sin.
Do it – or live
Lamenting the pleasures of freedom unseen...

Brought up in a fear of mythical forces,
For each misdemeanour awaiting remorse
"A prohibited fruit
Won't serve you for good!"
You make no decision – is anything worse?

Day after day sacrificing your ego,
Forsaking all hope, losing the vigour
And seeking a shelter
You kneel to the altar,
Expecting a favour from stone-dead figures...

Clean up your mind and give loose to your lust!
Don't fear fake menace of being condemned.
Whatever you are, there is only one end
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

I can teach you to enjoy life to the full...

Clean up your mind and give loose to your lust!
Come side with me,
Follow my path!

I tear off the veil – have a look at the scale
A breath of decision can trigger a gale
Be either yourself or constantly bound
Whatever you choose you shall end in the ground.

I warn you: don't hope for phantom salvation!
He who lives as a servant has no destination.
I'm here to soothe your excruciation,
Come closer, my child, for I am the Truth.

One step is enough to break up the chains.
Your being was never designed for restrain.
Come closer, my child, I shall wipe off your stain,
Come side with me. Now.
