[English]

Like a serpent in the garden

I am truth and I am darkness

I'm an angel, I'm a demon

Just depends on what you're feeling

I'm the fruit that was forbidden

But don't keep my evil hidden

I'm the one she was afraid of

Now I'm what your dreams are made of

I'll show you the light, with all the lights off

With all the lights off

I'll bring you to life, I'm a holy fuck

I'm a holy fuck

...

You see me begging for permission

Let me free you from a prison

She's a novice, a beginner

I'm the sexorcist, the sinner

I can guide you, I can teach you

Honey, this is just a preview

'Cause my body's the communion

Take a bite of what I'm doing

I'll show you the light, with all the lights off

With all the lights off

I'll bring you to life, I'm a holy fuck

I'm a holy fuck

...

I'll show you the light, with all the lights off

With all the lights off

I'll bring you to life, I'm a holy fuck

I'm a holy fuck

...
