Because It Was Beautiful
When greed and lust meet…

She caught me in her tight grasp.
She wouldn’t let me go,
She wouldn’t let me go.
I was trapped inside,

A diamond devil,
Trapped within her,

Lady of Lust,
Man of Greed.
We had a deal,
We made an agreement.

I wanted diamonds,
You wanted me.
So you gave me diamonds,
And I gave you me.
But when our time was up,
And I wanted to leave,

We are both sinners,
But youβ€”

I was willing to give,
But not let you take.
Not let you steal,
Beyond the bounds,
Of mutual benefit.
But you took,
π‘Œπ‘œπ‘’ 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑑.


I wanted diamonds,
You wanted me.
You were my tool,
And I was your doll.
I humanize such pretty things.
You dehumanize,

Lustful Lady,
You are evil.
And I,
Man of Greed,

Intoxicating lies,
Never as beautiful,
As real jewels.
That's why I wear these diamonds,
To hide this ugly…

You couldn’t deceive me,

But you could fool them.
And you sure did.
Oh, what an actress,

I stole diamonds,

She got addicted,
Just like I did.

We were both selfish,

I told her pretty words,
So she could smile a semi-precious smile,
And she gave me pretty jewels in exchange.
I stole diamonds,
Because they were beautiful.
And she stole me,

This Diamond Devil,
Whispering truths,
They will not believe,
For I am too pretty for honesty.
I cannot be deceived,
So, the deceiver,
I surely must be.

Never again.
No justice for the dead.
So I refuse to dieβ€”
Not to your lies,
π‘π‘œπ‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘–π‘  π‘‘π‘–π‘šπ‘’.

I foresee not,
The death you’ve wished for.
I will be here,
Long after you're gone.
I will be here,
Reclaiming what you stoleβ€”
𝑀𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑦.

I took a gamble,
And I lost.
I could have foreseen this fall,
But I played,
And I lost.
I played the wrong game,
But now I know,

Lustful Lady,
I am the master of deception now.
I foresee every trap you lay,

And what do we do,
When we can’t bear it anymore?
We tear such pretty thingsβ€”
