                         A new twist on the seduction song, "Obsession" succeeds in combining innocence and lust in a homage to male
                           power and sexuality combined with a fervent prayer for peace and harmony between the Universal Male and Female Principle.
                           "Oh, let me be your obsession. Your love's in need of expression!" Musically, the song lilts, swells, and sparkles
                           in a brilliant and infectious melding of Western classical and Mideastern exotic, made all the more entertaining by the Gypsy
                           girls' dancing.

                                    Forgetting all else in our soft embrace

                                    Ancient memories dwell, behind the Veil 
                                    The True Self waits, dancing, beyond the Pale

                                    And find in the night,  
                                    Through the little death, light 
                                    The Temple is rent, the Sheath welcomes the Knife

                                    Uncoiling through ages, reaching outward 
                                    Spanning and fanning the Fire 
  
                                    
                                    Oh let us be your obsession 
                                    With Love, there's no need of confession 
                                    Part of the Main, of Love's golden chain 
                                    Two Halves of the Holy, One in the Same

                                    Aphrodite, Whose servant I am 
                                    Oh teach us the way, more fully to pray 
                                    And worship upon the Altar of Man 
  
                                    
                                    Rejoice in the conquest of surrender 
                                    Eros' Purse must be spent to save 
                                    Without the slave there can be no master 
                                    In matters of Love, masters serve the slave 
  
                                    
                                    Oh let us be your obsession 
                                    Our love could be your possession 
                                    All through the night, all through the day
