Touch Not
Touch not
the unclean thing,
lest it contaminate your soul
Desire not
its silken poisonous sheen
The hypnotic sway
of its lustful shimmering
Embrace it to our bosom
if you dare
Let the flickering tongue caress your ear,
if you crave the tingling sensation of lies
Then breathe in deep, this foul, polluted air
Touch not
the unclean thing
Know ye not
what corruption it bring?
Wicked urges,
ungodly indulgences
Every evil imagined under the sun
It will terminate your humanity ...
if the worm infected program run
unchecked through your mind
Now slithering emotions
have transfixed you to the eternal flame
The unquenchable fires of damnation
shall consume you in perpetual shame
Touch not,
touch it not
This never, never, never do
Save your soul,
resist naked desires
Or temptation will surely be the death of you
