Wicked Children
Forbidden love tastes the apple so sweet,
since devil’s issue must be born in sin,
they bring God’s punishment with their deceit
and lovers flesh they dare savor as kin.
Fool’s temptation is too hard to resist;
the flower’s beauty attracts every bee.
Impure innocents should never exist.
Devil’s seed! Lock the attic, turn the key.
Can pure love purify their wicked touch?
They must suffer for paramours’ mistakes.
Why cannot they kiss what they love so much?
Doomed and damned to feel their broken hearts ache.
Grown in the shadows, locked from heaven’s gates,
are children born to live a sinful fate.
