Flesh Is Weak Lyrics


Leading a life of dissolution and debauchery

Lost to all sense of shame

I cast the first stone of offence

At ascetics that worship the pain of life

Flesh is weak

Strength of the will is such self-deception, body over mind

Flesh is weak

Wallowing in decadence

Only living for delectation

Idleness, the parent of vice

Pleasure-loving dissipation

To all temptation I will yield

To lust, to sloth and gluttony

Exceeding in these primal needs

Which more and more become fixations

Wallowing in decadence

Only living for delectation

Idleness, the parent of vice

Pleasure-loving dissipation

Always know that flesh is weak

But strong enough to control the mind
