The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you ever really been degraded
Here's a story all about seductive fate
How a girl so curious
Stepped through the darkened gate
She's taking it in
She's checking it out
Surrounded by sin
She's shrouded in doubt
She's letting it go
The demons are in the satans about
And she just about to sin
Hey now
What do you say
What is your game
And how do you play
I said hey i'm like a disease running undercover
You can run but you can never leave
It's just a little bit twisted
Gonna be alright
Come on sweet little sister
You're doing just fine
Don't ask no questions
I won't tell no lies
The big misconception
Hope you make peace before you die
Have you ever really been degraded
I could show you things that you've never ever seen
Have you ever really been degraded
I could take you places you've never been
Hey now
What do you say
This is the game
Are you ready to play
I said hey i'm like a disease
Once you are inducted
Baby you can never ever leave
(solo)
It's just a little bit twisted
It's gonna be alright
Come on sweet little sister
You're doing just fine
Don't ask no questions
I won't tell no lies
The big misconception
Hope you make peace before you die
Yeah now you're fully inducted
A deep darker life
Yeah you're fully corrupted
You're a human sacrifice
There ain't no confessions
I'm gonna set you free
You're in the hands of satan baby
Pray to god for mercy
Here's a story all about her twist of fate
How the hand of lucifer led her so far away
Have you ever really been degraded
I could show you things that you've never ever seen
Have you ever really been degraded
I could take you places you've never been
