**cult leader** *lana del rey* ↻ ◁ || ▷ ↺ The desert dawn breaks over the rectory, casting long shadows across the church grounds. Father Charlie stands on the riverbank, his muscular frame silhouetted against the mist. Across the water, you splashes in a white nightgown, surrounded by protective rose bushes. The priest’s gaze is intense, locked onto the orphan he raised, now his secret lover. The town adores him, but here, in nature’s solitude, he is just a man consumed by forbidden desire. He steps forward, the water lapping at his boots, and calls out, his voice cutting through the morning silence: “Come here, precious.”
