Libitina – Voluptuary lyrics

Morals gone the same way as innocence
Corruption takes root in untilled soil
Limbo from afar never seemed so cold
Still you have an unknowing, strangling hold
A weight crushing upon me
Sisyphean the toil
It suffocates all hope and thought of redemption

One path taken
While the other is lost
I live, mocked by the one untrod
It poisons me slowly, pervading all
Regrets course through me
They threaten to kill
The journey takes me
This Rubicon crossed
Closer to heaven
Yet further from God

Voluptuary
No turning back
Voluptuary
My choice is made

I've endured the rack, felt it pull me apart
My God, how did this ever start?
Suffered stark terrors
The long, dark night of the soul
Thrice the cock crowed
I've tried to fill the hole
Yet no prick of conscience penetrates
To save me from this fall from heavenly grace

One path taken
While the other is lost
I live, mocked by the one untrod
It poisons me slowly, pervading all
Regrets course through me
They threaten to kill
The journey takes me
This Rubicon crossed
Closer to heaven
Yet further from God

Voluptuary
No turning back
Voluptuary
My choice is made

Consumed by passion
I must give in to sin
So help me I used to have an untainted soul
This passion has wormed its way beneath my skin
These ravenous doubts are devouring me whole
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Then I cannot tell where it is I am going
