Brother John |
Well Brother John went down to the garden |
On a long hot summer’s day. |
To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows |
As she worked the time away. |
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire, |
And a body to drive men crazy!!! |
It was on that day there would be a change |
In the world of Brother John. |
She felt his and she walked up beside him |
And she took him by the hand. |
She said, «Brother John, it’s so hard to be holy, |
Would you like to be a man? |
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall-- |
If you’re there we will find out together,» |
And the Devil said, «There's a place in Hell, |
For the soul of Brother John!» |
Hallelujah! |
Temptation is here! |
It’s not a dream anymore. |
Hallelujah! |
It’s finally here… |
I’ve been waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting!!! |
Well Brother John lay tossing and turning |
In his bed in the heat of the night. |
He heard his name and he went to the window |
Where she was in the pale moonlight. |
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny! |
He was lost to her body forever! |
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried |
For the soul of Brother John. |
Hallelujah! |
Temptation is here! |
It’s not a dream anymore. |
Hallelujah! |
It’s finally here… |
I’ve been waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting!!! |
Hallelujah! |
Temptation is here! |
It’s not a dream anymore. |
Hallelujah! |
It’s finally here… |
I’ve been waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting!!! |
Temptation is here… for Brother John… |
Temptation is here… for Brother John… |
