[English]

I am very girly and also, very violent

I'm the she devil, the jezebel and the tyrant

I'm the whistleblower, when men try to make us silent

I'm the older woman

Unmarried and undecided

And I don't want kids

Wouldn't do it if you paid me

Refuse to be a servant to the modern-day slavery

I hope he drive off a cliff

I showed up to the funeral

Talked that hot s-

I'm passed my expiration date

He called me damaged goods

I'm the rotten fruit

Low hanging in the woods

How dare you weaponize my looks

I'm a bad b-

You're impenitent and bald

We all know why you're angry

I'm so tired of performative divinity

Manipulating women with kindness is such a sin to me

Premeditated you pretend to be a friend to me

And rip my wings while I'm sleeping

You're f- dead to me

Hail Medusa, blood moon in her eyes

Hail Medusa, make a grown man cry

Hail Medusa, kiss of death on her lips

Catch the Holy Spirit, rebuke the bad d-

Hail Medusa, blood moon in her eyes

Hail Medusa, make a grown man cry

Hail Medusa, kiss of death on her lips

Catch the Holy Spirit, rebuke the bad d-

You're emotionally reckless and very f- lustful

Jerking off to pictures of the girls you like to lie to

I will undisguise you

Bring you to the light

You're a f- predator standing in plain sight

My friend's brother went and did some f- weird s-

Do I tell her or keep it to myself

Is it common does she already know now

If I told her I think she embarrassed

I think about it and all the girls just like me

I dance around it 'cause I don't want to hurt her

I love you girl I just had to speak my truth

I'm fine now you can call me and discuss it

Finger f- me in the front seat

Wait until you f- me

Be a f- man

Go and tell me that you love me

I f- like a fairy

And make love like a god

The feeling inside me infinity and beyond

Hail Medusa, blood moon in her eyes

Hail Medusa, make a grown man cry

Hail Medusa, kiss of death on her lips

Catch the Holy Spirit, rebuke the bad d-

Hail Medusa, blood moon in her eyes

Hail Medusa, make a grown man cry

Hail Medusa, kiss of death on her lips

Catch the Holy Spirit, rebuke the bad d-

Succubus male demon

I know what you did

I know what you did

I know what you did

Succubus male demon

I know what you did

I know what you did

I know what you did

Succubus male demon

I know who you are

I know who you are

I know who you are

Succubus male demon

I know who you are

I know who you are

You're the devil Morningstar
