I have seen your petty race

Foolish and stupid 

Leaving your God and His grace 

To run after me, to chase

Only for the hope of a taste

Only to wither away and become like waste

Run to me

You make my desires easily acquired 

Because you can see me and love all your driving passions and fires

And here I am offering sweet attire

Looking for someone to hire

Someone alone in the mire

And you will be mine 

And even though your God is loving and kind

Even so, I can change your mind

And cause your convictions to unwind

Your love for your Husband to lose it's bind

Because here I am

But where is He?

Worship only that which you can see

And I will storm all of your memories

That you may forget your first love and come back to me

Dirty

A guilty dove

You don't even need convincing

I will protect and satisfy

Even though for you He was willing to die

My only foe 

For now He cries

In remembrance of His runaway bride

And I remember long ago when for the last time nature was beautiful 

So I became a fruit, offering a sweet toll

And nothing ever changed 

Like the time I was made of gold 

Or became a temple of worship

Regardless of what you were told

You sunk to me like a sinking ship

And bowed in reverence

 

What is this I hear and fear

Still your God draws you near?

Even after all you've done

Woman of the night

Prostitute 

Adulterous one!?

My tactics must increase

My tempting shall never cease

To take His people away

Until the much dreaded judgement day

For after I was bitten into I withered

And on the ground my companion slithered

For after I was formed into gold

They destroyed me and again I was cold

Needing to be praised

So I came again in many forms

In women and horses and money and whores and all that became right in your own eyes

But I am left alone

Kicked off of the throne of your heart for a greater art 

But only for a time

So I will have my fill

For thousands of years I will reign to kill 

And still you will come to me and go against His will

Yet He will pursue you ever still

And they will crown me king and plaster me all over their cities and I shall show no pity for I am witty and clever

I will be here forever 

Waiting around for an unfaithful wife to come to me and give me her life

I am idolatry and all mankind seeks after me

See the praise for all my treachery 

And the honor of my indignity 

I will blind the sons of man

Surely I will do all I can

To divert all that they are

And lead them away to distant planets and stars 

They will serve me.
