Like a ritual on the stage,
she lights candles and is burning sage.
No windows, no light let in.
No sun touching her forsaken skin.
Horns hidden beneath black lights,
lips that drink the body of its life.
Sacrifice to gods unseen,
her eyes search through the crowded room for me.
She moves her body likes she's casting hex
and I give in to her again.
Is this possession or is this sex?
Let me sin, I'll let you in.
Satanic little dancer.
She tells me to take her hand
and I know that I'm already damned.
A cursed dance just for me.
Will it last for this song or eternity?
It's just the two of us alone,
a moment I have paid for with my soul.
Every song, a hell suffered,
but I'd burn forever if it meant having her.
She moves her body likes she's casting hex
and I give in to her again.
Is this possession or is this sex?
Let me sin, I'll let you in.
Satanic little dancer.
She moves her body likes she's casting hex
and I give in to her again.
Is this possession or is this sex?
Let me sin, I'll let you in.
Satanic little dancer,
the devil is her master.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
