Convent of Earthly Delights

from Hellfire & Funeral Bells by Faustcoven

/

lyrics

Her face whispered of sweet innocence
But her body screamed for sin
Every day she prayed to the lord above
Yet worshipped her idols of crude naked flesh.

As above so below, it´s said
Both spoke to her in turn
Though commandements from above
Were not as strong as from below.

No matter how much she did repent
She had urges to attend
There was no cure, just a remedy
To Sin and Sin again.

Tired of her wicked ways
Her sister cunningly conspired
To deal some godly discipline
The error of her ways were clear
While platonic love is not a sin
Her heart was set on tantric paths
The when her flesh did feel the whip
She found she had a taste for it.

And from that day till´her very end
Pleasure was sought round´every bend
Her mind would serve the savoir
Her body served itself.

So when old of age she passed aways
Ir was without any regret or pain
Cause unlike her sister of the cloth
She had not lived her life in vain.

You may know of her in other forms - This patron saint of sin
She was the apple in the garden - Caressed by slithering skin

The whore in good of Babylon - Who faced the wrath og God
The Devil tempting Jesus Christ - Into feats of boastful pride

Gomorrah, Paris, New Orleans - She walked their streets at night
Your first kiss and your first fuck - And with you till you die
...You sinner!
