The Crucible: Prologue

Scene I: Temptation

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"
(Exodus 22:18)

Lisa
Venom pours out of my lips
Drink it, weary boy, and quench your thirst
Touch my fatal wounds
Praise me
In this mortal form
I present to your eyes in me
The Goddess of Love.

(Touch me
praise me
feel me)

Devil
I'll be always near
To release the Evil in Thee
To turn wine into water
Love into lust.

Lover
Comfort me in the burning temple of your shoulders
Let me touch your nature even older than God.

Lisa
You'll be my servant and I'll give you eternal life to taste.

Devil
I'll be always near
To release the Evil in Thee
To turn wine into water
Love into lust.

Scene II: Confession

Priest
He prayed to the Lord his entire life
but one night she sowed darkness into his heart
Lust in his root pulled him down to drown
For from this cup you cannot stop drinking
Until sweet venom melt your mind
Until it flows out through your empty eye-sockets.

Lover
Oh Lord! I can't take it anymore
Addiction
Fills my mind
Swallows my soul
The flame in her dark eyes
Is my only salvation
I confess to you
I love her more than
I love You.

Devil.

Scene III: Sabbath

Lover Witch
From now
Without red lips guarding from the day
I die
Without her face lit by the moon
Without breath of life taking you away
Without the hands closing your eyes
Left with my wings torn apart
(laughter)

Scene IV: Sin That Dwelleth In Me

"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I."
(Romans 7:14-15)

"For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do."
(Romans 7:18-19)
