4. The Taste of Sin

First drop of blood tasted when the Beast is young
A killer from the very second that it hits his tongue
He kills without compassion and he kills without a soul
It´s that which separates us from the beast or so I´m told
The taste of sin is bitter sweet but the Beast has got to eat

Lazily the Shepherd rests his head upon a rock
Beast has got his killing eye upon the Shepherd´s flock
The Farmer´s skin´s the color of the Shepherd´s grazing land
And now the Earth will open up to take the Shepherd´s blood from his hand
The taste of sin is bitter sweet but the Earth has got to eat

Farmer grabbed a sickle and he bolted for the east
Left the Shepherd´s flock to be devoured by the Beast
Damned to sow the Earth until he is the Earth again
Will he be forgiven though he is only a man
The taste of sin is bitter sweet but the man has got to eat

Beast has filled his belly and he fed his young ones well
He took the flock and left the Shepherd´s body there to swell
He´ll never know the reason why the Shepherd wore his clothes
It´s that which separates us from the Beast I suppose
The taste of sin is bitter sweet but the Beast has got to eat
