Lyrics

[00:05.75] (Power of Ten)
[00:31.59]
[00:32.40] Well Brother John went down to the garden
[00:36.13] On a long hot summer's day.
[00:40.44] To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows
[00:44.10] As she worked the time away.
[00:47.92] With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
[00:52.75] And a body to drive men crazy...!
[00:55.80] It was on that day there would be a change
[00:59.80] In the world of Brother John.
[01:03.30]
[01:09.95] She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him
[01:13.70] And she took him by the hand.
[01:17.76] She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy,
[01:21.36] Would you like to be a man?
[01:25.36] I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall--
[01:29.30] If you're there we will find out together,"
[01:33.11] And the Devil said, "There's a place in Hell,
[01:37.11] For the soul of Brother John!"
[01:40.61]
[01:43.99] Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
[01:47.69] It's not a dream anymore.
[01:51.86] Hallelujah! It's finally here...
[01:54.86] I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...!
[01:59.42]
[02:06.84] Well Brother John lay tossing and turning
[02:10.70] In his bed in the heat of the night.
[02:14.80] He heard his name and he went to the window
[02:18.45] Where she was in the pale moonlight.
[02:22.36] Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny!
[02:26.18] He was lost to her body forever!
[02:30.18] And the Devil laughed and the angels cried
[02:34.31] For the soul of Brother John.
[02:38.68]
[02:41.59] Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
[02:44.73] It's not a dream anymore.
[02:48.83] Hallelujah! It's finally here...
[02:51.89] I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...!
[02:56.31]
[03:20.39] Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
[03:24.21] It's not a dream anymore.
[03:28.25] Hallelujah! It's finally here...
[03:31.21] I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...!
[03:43.68]
[04:23.50] Temptation is here... for Brother John...
[04:27.12] Temptation is here... for Brother John....
[04:53.87]
