i can has cromulence?

This lyric from Sarah McLachlan's "Do What You Have to Do" has bugged me since i first heard it:

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage?

I must note that i picked up the 'you insensitive clod' option from ewx, although it seems that senji has also used it.

I got the impression of tempting-tempestuous, too, but i'm not sure that that would make any sense.
