The Bed In The Temple

You are a cultured girl,
a pretty little cultured pearl.
Just barely still a child,
you've never known the wild world.

When a consecrated finger
dug inside your shell
to show you to your new life
it must have felt like Hell.

Did he lay you in a bed of roses
and part your hidden self like Moses?
Are you older yet?
Do you feel saved?

What is it that you yearn for? Have you made it there? Have you learned a thing from giving mind and soul to the prophet of men who sold to you the ball and chain you wear?

Did he lay you in a bed of roses
and spread your hidden self like Moses?
Are you older yet?
Do you feel saved?
He takes the rod and breaks the stone.
Instead of water blood will flow.
In rapture now he cracks the tomb
with holy seed to sow your womb.
Are you older yet?
Do you feel saved?
