You’re a child of an old illusionCan’t you hear it cry?You live your life to the exclusionOf what they call a lieThe touch of evil it is getting strongerYou’d better hide in the daylightOr you won’t stand the temptation no longerAnd you will ask if your way is rightDo not ask the preacher whyAll your fears keep it aliveWaiting for the end of timeHoly shadows, always followHoly chains on holy shadowsWhen you are eve then I am temptationI am the words you’re not allowed to sayThe animal of their revelation’Cause I can take your fears awayThey make you blind and they want you to follow »Free love is sin! Desire’s slavery! »My wicked kiss on your virgin lipsWill be a pleasant way you’ll see itDo not ask the preacher whyAll your fears keep it aliveWaiting for the end of timeHoly shadows, always followHoly chains on holy shadowsLet’s get down on the floorYou’ll be screaming for moreWhen out bodies collideI’ll make you feel alrightNever give in when they call it sinWaiting for the end of timeHoly shadows, always followHoly chains on holy shadowsHoly shadows, always followHoly chains on holy shadowsHoly shadows, always followHoly chains on holy shadows(…father, forgive her for giving in to her lust,for being not able to stand the temptation…and for enjoying it!…)
