Seduction


 Blessed be. 

Velumbound. 


This is a direct reference to the well-known 1994 Christian book by John Bevere. 


In theology, "the bait of Satan" refers to offense and temptation—the spiritual traps or "lures" that captivate people and lead them into captivity or moral ruin. 


By comparing her "tricks" to this book, the transmission frames her allure not just as a physical attraction, but as a dangerous spiritual trap.

(A lone voice whispers)


The girl with the dark eyes


Her glinting eyes gleam with something so mysterious


Indiana Jones

Would be so damn curious 


For they emanate a magnetic energy

That soothes and radiates


Her deep country looks make single and married men salivate


Oh, how men rejoice 

When trapped with her tricks 


Like those used 

In The Bait of Satan
