Stealer of books, defiler of women... The goddess of erotic hallucinations sees you... ha ha ha [Verse 1, female vocal, warm, amused, purring] You saw me in the marketplace and you forgot to breathe You priced me at ten gold pieces, thought desire swells with greed You never asked my name, but you expected me to moan You asked me what it would cost to have me in your home [Pre-Chorus, strings enter soft, sensual, a slow uncoiling] So I sent you to my villa, and I met you at the door I was everything you wanted, but I was something more [Chorus, lush, layered, feline, dangerous] I am Bastet, I am the goddess in your bed You see in me, every desire in your head You wanted beautiful, and beautiful I became Now I am as happy as a kitten with a game [Verse 2, silkier, closer, the seduction deepening] Sign your name, my darling, sign it all away to me From the servant in the field to the golden estate key You reached for me, I stopped you... one more thing before you come Bring your children, let them sign, so nothing can be undone [Pre-Chorus, strings tighten, the trap closing] And when I asked for more, you gave me more without a pause You never once considered what I wanted, or what I was [Chorus, fuller, harmonies stacking] I am Bastet, I am the goddess in your bed You see in me, every desire in your head You wanted beautiful, and beautiful I became Now I am as happy as a kitten with a game [Bridge, spoken, low, close to the ear, drums drop out, sistrum shivers] Ra, my father, was not watching you today He may have turned his eye if you took a moment to pray You crossed my threshold, and I opened every door You followed every step, and slavered for more [strings return, low and glittering, a slow lush build] [Final Chorus, softer somehow, more intimate, more terrible] I am Bastet, I am the goddess you invented Every threshold that you crossed, my darling, was consented You wanted beautiful, and beautiful I became And you were always, just a toy in my game [Outro, whispered, laughing under the breath, the villa dissolving] I hope you learned something... (ha ha ha) But they never do... they never do... [fading laughter, sistrum, silence]
