The Temptation of St. Anthony
Night comes to the city
My faith falls apart
The lights go down
We lie down in the dark
Hell is all around us
Below us only love
The crucified
With lust in their eyes
We heed no word
A sickness in our hearts
I am the dark
You are the stars
Everything has gone wrong
But I know it is just
To seek an end
Man to seduce you, a woman to reduce you
Buildings crumble, calm these hands are
Trembling masses of flesh and pulp
Chains that bind them, who’s behind them?
Leaving roads and bridges
Hearts and sentence me
To reach an end
Vile and obscene
I have made choices
To be what I’ll become
To whom I pray
Thy worst be done
This flesh still breathing, animal seething
Cold, dry breath awaiting meeting
Beasts and breasts and swollen heads play chess
Pornography in everything
It is just because God is just an
End to all things dead and living
No temptation, no more suffering
All these signals, no decisions yet
