On to the next song(sings)
LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME, MY PRIEST.
CONSECRATE THE HEAT IN ME, MY PRIEST.
BLESS THE BREAD AND WINE. COME FEED ME.
CARNAL AND DIVINE, YOU NEED ME,
MY PRIEST.
INNOCENCE IS BEST DEFILED, MY PRIEST.
PASSIONS WE CAN TAME AND CAPTURE.
TIME ENOUGH FOR SHAME.
FIRST, RAPTURE.
MY PRIEST.
FROM EARTH'S FLESHLY COFFERS.
THE FLAVORS OF LOVE, IN THEIR SWEET VARIATION:
YOUNG BOYS, LOVELY WOMEN SO EASILY GIVE IN.
BUT TO REDUCE THE PRIEST,
TO SEDUCE THE PRIEST,
REQUIRES DEDICATION.
SAVE THIS SINNER'S SOUL, MY PRIEST.
BLESS ME -- IT WILL MAKE YOU WHOLE, MY PRIEST.
SINS THAT YOU ABHOR, ENDURE NOW.
ALL YOU WANT AND MORE IS PURE NOW.
SO FIND YOURSELF,
UNBIND YOURSELF.
THE WOMAN, THE ANGEL, AND THE BEAST:
MY PRIEST.
(During the song, LOUIS has removed most of the garments JOAN had put back on. By the end of the song, JOAN is facing him, naked from the waist up, HER back turned downstage. HE takes the cross which hangs on a chain between HER breasts and moves it so the cross hangs down HER back, visible to the audience.)
