You're a child of an old illusion 

Can't you hear it cry? 

You live your life to the exclusion 

Of what they call a lie 



The touch of evil it is getting stronger 

You'd better hide in the daylight 

Or you won't stand the temptation no longer 

And you will ask if your way is right 



Do not ask the preacher why 

All your fears keep it alive 

Waiting for the end of time 



Holy shadows, always follow 

Holy chains on holy shadows 



When you are eve then I am temptation 

I am the words you're not allowed to say 

The animal of their revelation 

'Cause I can take your fears away 



They make you blind and they want you to follow 

"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!" 

My wicked kiss on your virgin lips 

Will be a pleasant way you'll see it 



Do not ask the preacher why 

All your fears keep it alive 

Waiting for the end of time 



Holy shadows, always follow 

Holy chains on holy shadows 



Let's get down on the floor 

You'll be screaming for more 

When out bodies collide 

I'll make you feel alright 

Never give in when they call it sin 



Waiting for the end of time 



Holy shadows, always follow 

Holy chains on holy shadows 

Holy shadows, always follow 

Holy chains on holy shadows 

Holy shadows, always follow 

Holy 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!...)
