Lyric

They call me the guru, a master of health and mind

Never once let sugar cross this line

I said it’s poison dressed as paradise

The cause of pain in sweet disguise

I lived so strict, no craving allowed

Pure and clean, I stood so proud

Decades gone, I stayed the same

On the path of health, in my holy name

Oh, sweet to the soul, oh, sweet to the soul

My reason fades, I lose control

Just one taste, and the world turns bright

The secret of sweetness steals my mind tonight

My hair turned gray, the years went by

Discipline ruled, and I lived so dry

Never harmed my heart or skin

That was my creed—my sacred sin

But time moves fast, and age draws near

A whisper says, “the end is here.”

“One grain,” I thought, “before I die,”

White crystal gleams before the sky

Oh, sweet to the soul, oh, sweet to the soul

My reason fades, I lose control

Just one taste, and the world turns bright

The secret of sweetness steals my mind tonight

The first touch spins the world around

Truth revealed in a melting sound

The poison I feared became divine

One final kiss — the sin was mine

Oh, sweet to the soul, oh, sweet to the soul

My reason fades, I lose control

Just one taste, and the world turns bright

The secret of sweetness steals my mind tonight

Sweetness burns into my soul

Desire takes the final hold

Oh, sweet to the soul, oh, sweet to the soul

The guru I was is gone, long gone
