Adulterine Temptress Lyrics - Corey Cyr

Lying on the thieving mattress 

Queen ties her hair to a bun 

Pawning off to be a nun 

The cheek has been turned 

King peers through the window 

Eyeing what he did not seek 

Solitary could not speak 

No lesson has been learned 

The king has lost his throne 

The queen escaped with the jester 

King shot at both but missed her 

The jester died on the street 

Now the vinyl has been flipped 

The side she plays is spoken 

It's beaten, battered, and broken 

Seems to be on repeat 

Now the king is all alone 

His days are long and hazy 

Sorrowful, dead, and crazy 

He failed to break the spell 

Lover's lane has been lost 

Guarded by the foulest beast 

No man, saint, nor priest 

Can break these gates of hell
