Prodigal Son (A Libertine's Lament) - The Electric Hellfire Club

Take a message to my father

Tell him I have returned

That I now embrace this lonely place

And the family I spurned

I have lived a life of sin

Debauched and decadent

This filth I’ve wallowed in

Has left me cold and unrepentant

I crossed the line between pleasure and crime

A modern-day De Sade

I chose the way of Gilles de Rais

And the enemies of god

I’m your greatest failure

Nothing can save me

Prodigal Son of the Evil One

I am what you made me

Say a prayer to your ugly god

For the souls of children offered up

We drank their blood, we ate their flesh

And reveled in the sweet smell of excess

I will live forever

For I am truly blessed

My name will live in infamy

Synonymous with death

I’m your greatest failure

Nothing can save me

Prodigal Son of the Evil One

I am what you made me
