Songtext von Prodigal Son (A Libertine's Lament)

Take a message to my father Tell him I have returned That I now embrace this lonely place And the family I spurned I have lived a life of sin Debauched and decadent This filth I've wallowed in Has left me cold and unrepentant I crossed the line between pleasure and crime A modern-day De Sade I chose the way of Gilles de Rais And the enemies of god I'm your greatest failure Nothing can save me Prodigal Son of the Evil One I am what you made me Say a prayer to your ugly god For the souls of children offered up We drank their blood, we ate their flesh And reveled in the sweet smell of excess I will live forever For I am truly blessed My name will live in infamy Synonymous with death I'm your greatest failure Nothing can save me Prodigal Son of the Evil One I am what you made me
