Original Sin (The Devils Waiting in the Wing) Lyrics
Everything happens for a reason
Everything you love turns to dust
Everything you touch yearns for poison
Your eyes lust too much
I tried so hard to control my mind
To remain true to you
Thrashing the walls of innocents inside
But no desire to restrain myself
I hate to love but love to hate
What did I do to deserve all this from you?
I can´t believe you turned us into this?
It´s far from beauty & the beast, our saga ends
Disgust! I trust you will burn in hell!
Acquiesce, my gift to you
But on my knees, I'll never do
Take your path hand in hand
Like a fool, I follow you
Bleak I seem, now to you
Within your eyes, I am nothing new
Your heinous crime, watch my decline, your vicious lips revolt me
What did I do to deserve all this from you?
I can`t believe you turned us into this.
Its far from beauty & the beast, our saga ends, disgust I trust I will burn in hell!
Everything you love turns to dust
Everything you touch yearns for poison
Your eyes lust too much
To remain true to you
Thrashing the walls of innocents inside
But no desire to restrain myself
I can´t believe you turned us into this?
It´s far from beauty & the beast, our saga ends
Disgust! I trust you will burn in hell!
Acquiesce, my gift to you
But on my knees, I'll never do
Take your path hand in hand
Like a fool, I follow you
Within your eyes, I am nothing new
What did I do to deserve all this from you?
I can`t believe you turned us into this.

I think it's about the division of male and female, from the beginning. And the use of religion to justify that, even today. Sarah Deva says that it's about Adam being responsible for original sin, not Eve, and it's interesting how the voices of the woman and man are subverted from the original tale: it's the male who talks of not being able to resist, not the female.
It's about men screwing you over, but playing the victim - so many men claim that they got carried away with a woman because, being male, they couldn't control their lust, or that they had to beat and rape someone because their male ego was hurt by her feministic refusal to submit and let him be 'the masculine one'.
It's so wonderfully angry... I play it whenever I hear some idiot tell me if only women were sweet, meek and mild like they 'used to be' there would be no domestic violence, etc.
