Poison in the Pages

Wild, free, full of life, living for the moment
No regard for casualty, injury or atonement
Eagle eyes seek helpless prey, who fall for his devilish charm
Venus loses to the fly, trapped in nuclear arms

Self-indulgent tendencies, a portrait of human kind
In the loft and all alone, for his soul he cries

Beauty is as beauty does
There's poison in the pages
Lust to own, destroy, defile
There's poison in the pages

Defer decay upon the page, oh your face has changed
Defer the debt for another day, oh but you remain
Chance came to change your mind, equals in the frame
Vanity, the need for touch, never will you be the same

Silly how a chance like this could easily taint your mind
One slip and you lose your grip, caught in a web of lies

Beauty is as beauty does
There's poison in the pages
Lust to own, destroy, defile
There's poison in the pages

Self-indulgent tendencies, a portrait of human kind
In the loft and all alone, for his soul he cries

Beauty is as beauty does
There's poison in the pages
Lust to own, destroy, defile
There's poison in the pages

Beauty is, beauty does
There's poison in the pages
Lust to own, destroy, defile
There's poison in the pages
