Temptation's curse is cruel
But I always seem to lose
Shot out straight from the moon
It led me to a hopeless truth
I could only feel the love
It showed me times when I was cold
Love to fuck but then think
I wanna hang off or break
It revealed just when I had no reason,
So I used to find wicked comfort in lying
To people I loved the most
No, I can't reach for hope
The light still shone so bright upon
Ugly mule collapsing under the weight of
millions of children's cold dark dreams
drown me in my sea of selfish schemes
I used to see myself so clear
in strangers' lustful minds
Clearer than I've ever seen
looking through my own dreary eyes
Self -confidence, boredom,
My mother, my dog, my home
They don't know just what I've done
I dance in the dead I own
But no honesty could ever repay
So I'll condemn the earth to die
Screaming my name from Babylon
So I condemn the earth who dies
From Babylon, oh, blood -red Babylon
