Flesh and the Power It Holds lyrics

I told you once

but I will say it again

When you live the flesh

it's the beginning of the end

It'll take you in

And it'll spit you out

Behold the flesh and the power it holds

Passion is

a poison laced with pleasure bitter sweet

One of many faces

that hides deep beneath

And it'll take you in

And it 'll spit you out

Behold the flesh and the power it holds

Touch, taste, breathe, consumed

Deja-vu

Already knew

from the first encounter

But now I know

to let go

of words to speak no more

Like a wind

upon your face

you can't see it but you know it's there

When beauty shows

its ugly face,

just be prepared.

Passion burns

like fire carried by the wind

The end of a time,

a time to begin

It'll take you in

And it'll spit you out

Behold the flesh and the power it holds

It builds you up

one way and tears you right back down

A time to begin

The end of a time

And it'll take you in

And it'll spit you out

Behold the flesh and the power it holds

Touch, taste, breathe, consumed

Deja-vu

Already knew

from the first encounter

But now I know

to let go

of words to speak no more

Like a wind

upon your face

you can't see it but you know it's there

When beauty shows

its ugly face,

just be prepared.
