Seduction Of The Innocent

(앨범: Carnival Of Souls: The Final Sessions - 1997)

He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck

His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction of the innocent

Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's praying?

The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead

Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction of the innocent

Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
And don't know why

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
