The Midnight Madam

THE MIDNIGHT MADAM  

Verse:

She lives by night near city lights

and stalks the streets 'til morning.

She'll sense your sin, invite you in,

then leave without a warning.

She plays with dreams and owns the scene;

her heart will make you suffer.

She haunts the tortured minds of men

who gave their souls to touch her.

Verse:

Her past has placed within her eyes

vast oceans filled with sorrows.

Her loss of love has led her down

a path you dare not follow.

Beware the beauty of her smile;

don't fall for desire.

Her game of wills is all too real.

She'll trap you in her fire.

Chorus:

Her needs like pins will pierce the skin.

Her kiss will kill you slowly.

She'll weave a web of lies, of lust,

eclipsing all things holy.

You'll be possessed,

a ghost among the living.

You'll curse the Midnight Madam's name,

and time won't be forgiving.

Verse:

We're only here on borrowed time;

the sands are quickly falling.

Don't side-step God and try to be

the answer to her calling.

Temptation lives in many forms-

is drawn to thrist and hunger.

Don't share the midnight madam's cup;

her curse will pull you under.

(repeat chorus)
