Perdition
Love is an illusion
Conquering all
In the fiery furnace
Burning you with desire
It will you enthrall
Deciduous horns
Giving way to new growth
Lost In a burbled frenzy
You promise the devil
Your sworn oath
Cards in play
Could be your downfall
Queen of Diamonds
Greed and avarice
Disguised as jovial
Change inevitable
Never say never
Taking the road to Perdition
and condemnation
Before being lost forever
