Angel Lust

The devil's in his workshop again
Penning the lyrics to keep you
Pinned to your bed
Trapped in your head
Wondering between breaths when
You fell for the sins of the flesh
Well worn are his tricks and yet
Still you come screaming
Still he's got you dreaming
Of returning to the evening
The devil's in his workshop again
Hell bent on your deliverance
And he's swept you off your feet again
Spinning eloquence into the taste
Of his hands on your hips
Succumbing to the fate of
The king's hand
You'll lose your head
And find something different
This space between earthly desire and
Fiery temptation
So well-written is his sentence
That you're fighting your better judgment
And losing to the primal urge
To say yes, to forget the war that wages
Outside your window
And open your heart just enough
To let him in
The devil's in your bed again
Here to fight through
Your trenches
Here to get to know your
Every uninhibited movement
That I may show you
How close the gates of hell lie
To the borders of Heaven.
