The Tempter

August 3, 2013

"Romeo oh Romeo,

Let down your hair,

that I may climb,

To be your pair,

Oh so fair,

And oh so rare,

How you care,

To lend your share.

Will you dare,

To let me in,

One night with me,

There is no sin,

Let me pin you down,

With my crown.

I shall free thee,

Let you be,

From this cage,

captivity.

Can't you see I mean no harm,

Our flesh as one would be so warm.

Never mind this barren land,

The people who you think are damned.

Why not make Adam and Steve?

Afraid that God would make you leave?

Let our swords pierce our flesh,

Our tongues taste the promised gift.

Everyone knows that we are good,

We have the right to strip our hoods,

Let our face be proudly shown,

All the world, you can own.

So moan with me."
