Rev 22:20
Danny Lohner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't be aroused, by my confession
Unless you don't give a good Goddamn about redemption
I know Christ is comin', so am I
And you would too if the sexy devil caught your eye

She'll suck you dry
But still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weak
And mourn and cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen, it's no surprise
Even he would martyr his mama to ride to hell between those thighs
The pressure is building, at the base of my spine
If I gotta sin to see her again then I'm gonna lie and lie and lie

She'll make you cry
I'll sell my soul, to be back in your bosom
Gladly now please suck me dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

My pulse has been rising
My temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming and building
So steady they're fretting I'm ready to blow
What is she what is she what is she waiting for?

(Pray) Pray til I go blind
(Pray) Pray cause no one ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die longer




Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
She'll eat you alive

And you would too if the sexy devil caught your eye

To do it again
To experience it all over again

To do it again
To experience it all over again

Pray until I can't see anymore


(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Pray because no one can survive this temptation alone


Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer

Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
There are those who will tempt you, and those who will save you, and it's hard to know the difference


She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen, it's no surprise
Jesus has risen from the dead, as predicted


Even he would martyr his mama to ride to hell between those thighs
Even Jesus would sacrifice his own mother to experience the pleasure of this devil

The temptation is mounting and becoming stronger


If I gotta sin to see her again then I'm gonna lie and lie and lie
If I have to commit a sin to be with her again, then I will lie as much as I need to


She'll make you cry
She will make you weep

I will make a deal with the devil to be close to her again

To experience it all over again


My pulse has been rising
I'm becoming increasingly excited


My temples are pounding
I'm feeling the pressure of temptation


The pressure is so overwhelming and building
The temptation is becoming too much to handle


So steady they're fretting I'm ready to blow
I'm barely able to contain myself and might give in to temptation at any moment


What is she what is she what is she waiting for?
What is the devil waiting for? Why won't she come and tempt me now?


(Pray) Pray til I go blind
Pray until I can't see anymore


(Pray) Pray cause no one ever survives
Pray because no one can survive this temptation alone


Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die longer
Pray to stay alive a little longer in her embrace

Don't be aroused
By my confession
Unless you don't give a good goddamn about redemption, I know
Christ is comin'
And so am I
And you would too if this sexy devil caught your eye

She'll suck you dry
And still you'll cry to be back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weep
And moan and cry to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray)
'Til I go blind
(Pray)
'Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviors and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen
It's no surprise, even he would
Martyr his mama to ride to hell between those thighs
The pressure is building
At the base of my spine
If I gotta sin to see you again then I'm gonna lie, lie, lie

She'll make you cry
I'll sell my soul to be back in her bosom
Gladly now please suck me dry
And still you cry to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray)
'Til I go blind
(Pray)
'Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviors and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

My pulse has been rising, my temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming and building
So steady there, Freddy, I'm ready to blow
What is she, what is she, what is she waiting for?

(Pray)
(Pray)
(Pray)
(Pray)
(Pray)
'Til I go blind
(Pray)
'Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die a little longer
Saviors and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

Hearing this with headphones on, it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong but it feels so good! How is it posible I hadn't heard this before?!
