A richly furnished room
In the air, a subtle hint of sulfur.
I watch, aghast, as you proudly display your Dorian portrait.
A sudden tightness in your chest--the power of Christ compels you!
I think you should turn around.
You've summoned up what you can't put down.
You tell me that the way I act is quite odd.
You tell me that you don't believe in God.
But do you believe in demons?
Cos when I look in the window I see them,
crawling all over the ceiling, pointing and laughing at me.
I walk by the power of things not seen,
although I only go to church on Halloween.
And I thought for a second you got what I mean,
but your eyes have grown accustomed to the night.
Come on, step into the light.
Head lighter than a feather,
Neck stiffer than a board,
Fond lover, why so pale?
Your face has been completely drained of blood.
And in the room, a sudden chill--the power of science compels you.
This ritual reveals the darker side of your Baphomet aesthetic.
You tell me that the way I act is quite odd.
You tell me that you don't believe in God.
But do you believe in demons?
Cos when I look in the window I see them,
crawling all over the ceiling, pointing and laughing at me.
Are you friends with these fallen angels?
Cos they sure don't seem like strangers.
Do you feel yourself being strangled by all their awful fetters?
I walk by the power of things not seen,
although I only go to church on Halloween.
And I thought for a second you got what I mean,
but your eyes have grown accustomed to the night.
Come on, step into the light.
Turn around! Step back! Look away! Shut up! The power of Christ compels you!
You tell me that the way I act is quite odd.
You tell me that you don't believe in God.
