Songtext von Messalina

Ancient Rome, Caligula's reign Days of decadence and lust Utter indecency, complete immorality Wanton vice and total depravity Constant orgies, evil conspiracies Sex and murder went hand in hand Countless abortions, many poisoned A veil of sin did cover the land Amidst the schemes, lust and hate A woman rose to great heights Of noble ancestry, imperial blood A soul untainted by the christian god Married at twenty, to cousin Claudius At the court she rose to power No man safe, from her desire Her insatiable lust made men cower chorus: Messalina Queen of sluts Messalina Empress of desire Messalina Harlot of the gods Messalina Seductress and liar Caligula died, through assassination Weak old Claudius now the emperor His wife still burned, with lustful fires Truly a woman of dark desires Her elderly husband, always unaware Of his young wife's sexual prowess Tricked by her, to execute her foes Rivers of semen flowed for the mistress A legendary prostitute, she did challenge To a shameless contest of copulation Debased fornication, all through the night She still was going when long it was light The gods themselves, couldn't speculate How many men she satisfied The greatest slut, in the world's history No perverted impulse she ever denied chorus After a decade, of marital mockery The empress plotted to kill her husband Devious scheming, with her lovers' aid But the risks she took were too great Her conspiracy foiled, by Claudius' men Yet her lustful legacy, lives to this day Just thirty years old she was executed For this saint of evil black prayers we say chorus
