Spirits of Deceit Songtext
von Angelic Foe

The first is the spirit of life, with the constitution of man
The second the spirit of sight, with which ariseth desire
The essence of sins through fondness for pleasure

The third is the sense of hearing, with which cometh teaching
The fourth is the sense of scent; with which tastes are given
By breathing, fragrances enter in

Seven spirits are employed against man; leaders in the works of youth
Joined with fantasy; darkening his mind from the truth

The fifth is the power of speech, with which cometh knowledge
The sixth is the sense of taste, with which cometh ingestion
For in feast is the foundation of strength


The seventh the spirit of lust, which is filled with ignorance
It leadeth the youth astray, as a blind man to a pit
As a beast to a deadly precipice

Seven spirits are employed against man; leaders in the works of youth
Joined with fantasy; darkening his mind from the truth

Love the truth, and it will preserve you
Pay no heed to the face of a woman
Nor associate with another man′s wife
Nor set your mind on their affairs
Walk in singleness of the heart in fear of the Lord

Seven spirits are employed against man; leaders in the works of youth
Joint with fantasy; darkening his mind from the truth
Seven spirits are employed against man; leaders in the works of youth
Joint with fantasy; darkening his mind from the truth
