Dance of the Harlot
Safe inside my shell of comfort, I see
A hideous harlot staring brazenly at me
I see her laugh and stagger like a moth to a flame
Hands shake and blood boils as she profanes your holy name
I can’t believe my eyes
Frozen in inaction
My spirit in me cries
But I find no reaction
So I watch as the dance of the harlot begins
Twisting and writhing like her serpent kin
I watch as the dance of the harlot unfolds
As altars become scenes of horrors untold
As I watch the scene evolve, behold
The harlot mocks the witness of the saints of old
She proclaims at the opening of this unholy synod
“Lawlessness at last has come to the house of our God!”
I can’t believe my eyes
Frozen in inaction
My spirit in me cries
But I find no reaction
So I watch as the dance of the harlot begins
Twisting and writhing like her serpent kin
I watch as the dance of the harlot unfolds
As altars become scenes of horrors untold
Final act, counterfeit groom
Leads the harlot to her doom
Stripped bare and fed to the flames
I couldn’t speak so I’m to blame
Should have warned her while there was time
God forgive me for my crime
Wasn’t brave enough to see
That the harlot could’ve been me
cool Chris, might be worth it to find some image to go with it… or not.
I have a picture in my head, but it’s more a scene than an image. This woman dancing very sensually around a bonfire in a clearing. As she spins as writhes, her image flashes between striking beauty and hideous hag. If i ever get signed, I can’t wait to do a music video for it, lol. I’ll see if I can find some sort of picture that illustrates it on Google.
