Nothing more than sheep to the shepherd

Consumed by desires and pleasure

A graceful mask for the dance of sin

An insatiable hunger with no end to see

Nothing can quench this taste for gluttony

Pay attention! For the shepherd is speaking

My hunger is insatiable, and you shall do my bidding

Awaken from the life of chewing grass

The monotonous one I am freed at last

Led astray by the deceitful shepherd

Speak with your voice and you shall be heard

For a life of love and light is what I provide

Be yourself and you shall be lifted into the sky
