The awful Eve within me lights her fire

Puts all my ease and comfort on the pyre.

A hateful Harpy zooms out of my head

She takes command, she rolls me in my bed.

I toast the ancient goddess - love and lust

I let my good name fall into the dust.

Where has all my well-trained goodness gone?

Just hunger, with your flesh to feed upon.

Excruciating pleasure, let me go

I’m not the woman that I used to know.

Let me find peace, in cooler waters swim.

Find my tranquillity again, but without him.

I dance around the flagstones casting spells

I dance to heathen music, drums and bells.

Now all that’s left of me -

The skull beneath the skin,

the claw inside the velvet hand.

At last the hellcat in me’s free

As I rip off your wedding band.
