Dissolute Monk

I am like a Siberian tiger
Creeping through taigas
Looking for great power

A letter arrived one evening
Praising my hypnotic gaze
And you craving a carnal touch

I arrived with a prophecy
My magic cured Tsarina’s son
And led me up to autocracy

You can shoot me, poison me
But I will rise again, you will see
The evil protects me eternally
