Song for the Harlot Lyrics

A lifestyle of filthiness doesn't merit
The cruelty I showed in the past
Led astray by very poor guidance
You're selling your purity and soul
I worry for you as you tumble downward
You have wandered
You have stumbled
Into the quicksand
Of putrid sins
As you falter
As you break
Addictions cripple
You die within
Like a parasite on your soul
The demons lay you to waste
Attempting to put on a blindfold
To hide you from his grace
In the torment of feeding the insatiable
This world tells you this is liberation
As it oppresses you with vice and false promises
Dear sinner, let him lift you out
In all your filthiness I still love you
I love you and so does my father
In all your downfalls I want to see you rise
And conquer the sins of the past
Lack of morals destroys families
Destructive sins, tear us apart, I cannot watch what you do
It fills me with much despair, to see how you let yourself be used
And forgive me sinful woman for my words in the past
When I lashed out and called you a worthless whore
And forgive me dear father for all my rage
I shall long to hate no more
