The Garden of Earthly Delights

INTROIT

Ipse dixit, et facta sunt
Ipse mandavit, et creata sunt

Verse 1

Where my emotion dictates
As a metaphysical state
Is the place
I will go
Morality
Doesn't enter my mentality
As a reality
This I know

The submission
Of my mind's volition
To my passions
Is how it will begin
No more
Of the conscience pangs I try to ignore
I've felt them before
But now I'll soar
On the glory of my sin

Chorus 1

Gotta find some other place now
Where I can quell my appetites
Eden's joys won't satisfy me
I need a Garden of Earthly Delights

Verse 2

Out of light
In the blackness of my soul's dark night
I never knew what was lurking out of sight
Where now I rove
So much I wasn't able to see
Didn't think what I wanted would be
In this weird grove

All my wishes
No matter how vicious
Are fulfilled, and even these fishes
Of behemoth size
Inflame my carnal wildfire
Just like the women clad in nature's attire
Before my eyes

Chorus 2

I don't need the joys of heaven
Or the beatific light
Just the fruit that tastes so luscious
In the Garden of Earthly Delights
