Black Hearted Seductress,
Beckon Unto You¡K
They say I weave and evil spell¡K
That none can tell my magic well¡K
I lace my words with honey sweet¡K
Cause a person¡¦s mind retreat¡K
Leave them for a while in dreams¡K
Of places so unreal it seems¡K
They boost my power mighty bold¡K
This is what legends are told¡K
Spin that wand about them fair¡K
Causing them to lose all care¡K
Care of things in present time¡K
I twist about without reason or rhyme¡K
Don¡¦t blame me for your visions seen¡K
You¡¦re the one with a mind so keen¡K
All that glitters is not gold¡K
You called me gift said I was bold¡K
I didn¡¦t place my title grand¡K
You gave it freely, I didn¡¦t demand¡K
Now disappointed by what you see¡K
The person you thought you saw in me¡K
Remove the rose colored glass shade¡K
I have been the same person, I didn¡¦t jade¡K
You wanted desperately to believe¡K
When I wasn¡¦t--you said I deceived¡K
How then can I be what you say¡K
When always I have been this way¡K
Never unkind or bitter--mean¡K
You chose what you wanted, your mind created scene¡K
You call me a black hearted seductress of pain¡K
If that is true then, why then no shame¡K?
For you know that I am not evil or crass¡K
You just want to blame me, a sweet little lass¡K
So wicked you call me; by your taunts unfair¡K
Go tell the world, that¡¦s if you dare¡K
For reason¡¦s be you keep aware¡K
I didn¡¦t come to you and stare¡K
Stumble past your silly pride¡K
See your words, you tried to guide¡K
Lead me on a different road¡K
Said kiss this prince from whence a toad¡K
You are not mad at me so much¡K
Only that I didn¡¦t embrace your touch¡K
Revel in your words strong fear¡K
Hoping your shouting would make me hear¡K
As you spewed your delicious deceit¡K
While you sounded your trumpets retreat¡K
So now I say to you, my once friend¡K
I won¡¦t be a party of such judgment send¡K
Who¡¦s the black hearted seductress now¡K?
Look in the mirror, could be you--wow¡K
