songs for samson

delilah is beautiful / she ties you to a chair

unhooks her gown and lets it fall while you stare

she breaks your will and she taints your pride

they cut your hair while you were sleeping by her side

in the morning you found your locks of gold all gone

and in the corner she was crying broken and forlorn

(my thoughts take me to some terrible places)

could your love have poisoned you as well?

you didn't taste it in the water, you drew it from her lips

naked next to you and traced intention on her bones

but you wouldn't let her leave the bed / you needed in despair

you couldn't see the temptress / only the flowers in her hair

still you couldn't break you couldn't hurt the face that you forgot

they ripped you from her and chained you to a rock

and the laughing faces jeered: look at samson tied up there

his love had poisoned him / his love had cut his hair

will he ever know, his love was really never there
