The Benediction of Sin

Our lives are but misfortune for we want what is amiss beholden unto desire the fire of a kiss Ages have passed years but into the fire we are but weakened men before the reins of desire /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Tender is none hardened is all when love turns to dust and heaven begins to fall Lust for what none of us have a taste to provoke the worst of nature for all naked men in life twist for that delicate creature ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hearts undone beneath her smile her finger dipped in every man how is it that we deny her promise and 'tinue to stand It is with resolute faith that we stand united as one ready to repent before god and sacrifice what we have done
