The veiled virgin and the bitch that sings
Have closed down the curtains
These sheets are damped and cold like stone
Vanished souls in that place called home
Sacred sins of sunlight fancies
Devotion in perversity
In the house of heaven
Ritual offering has begun

Qedesha! Qedesha!
Qedesha! Qedesha!

Another whine in the darkest shrine
To lure away the secrets
The foolest custom in Babylon
Between the legs of the temple holy one
Drops of revering lust
Fleeting desires
Vanished like vapor
Naked skins exposed to strangers

Qedesha! Qedesha!
Qedesha! Qedesha!
