The Carnal Priestess

My carnal priestess of the night
You broke your man's heart while giving me delight,
You made promises you never intended to keep
And now I have sown what I will reap,

Who knows what truth there was in your word
It seems no truth at all from what I heard,
The lines between reality and lies were always blurred
You burned it all down just to move forward,

I became complicit in an evil scheme
Tearing a man's heart out or so it seems
The very worst I could have done in my dreams
No solace to be found in cries and screams,

My little carnal priestess of the night
You couldn't be trusted when out of my sight
You had to make me bleed to make it right
The darkened tunnel inside you but no light,

You are the phantom of all my desire
You made me numb to your cold fire
I was an honest man turned liar
Look out my love these straights are dire,

Thinking back on all we did where we were
Now only regrets and sadness are stirred
All I know is I'm the fool you lured
The fire of the flesh becomes skewered,

My little carnal priestess of the night
You move on like a train out of sight
Why bother with someone else's plight?
You'll find another to hold you tight,

All the years I've wasted in pain alone
Ever headed for parts still unknown
I feel like a babe into this world I was thrown
If I were a dog at least you'd throw me a bone.
