lyrics

Death, Death, Death!



The secret acts

So rightfully ensnared,

Intoxicating

Her features invigorating

And to become once again driven near,

Seduced

The destruction of my reign o’er her,

No longer am I one

But two,

Eyes piercing the soul

For just a moment



Her name I suppose does not matter

But it was I who chose she, and she who chose me

Caught at moon’s glance

Her glimpse a slivering arrow, whetted

Piercing the vulgar sighs

Of onlookers

Who would if they could speak verse instead of curse

To sway her tempered delicacy,

But none such as I

Came ever so close to the rose

She bore between her thighs

For the parting of skirts

Came as an ecstasy of highs

That the cabernet could only flush,

Dancing as my minuet played

When her eyes became everything…



I saw in them as I never have in another,

The visage of beauty

Power

Devildom

And passion

For if I look away I fear that I will never peer into the face of paradise again…



To me she was Nina, the swansong

The blood upon the snow

Mephistophelian scarlet,

Forever a fragment of perfection,

Her skin blushes

Bruising a silent whimper

Of pale statues staring on

Over misty gardens,



Within this Eden is power

Dominance and submission

A soulless nether

Where her flesh could never part

From the serpents of Eve



In this I plead

A witness to such bondage

Branded incarnate

Carving out my eyes to

-stand before you in apostasy-

-Withdrawn from illumination-

-Impassioned-

-I shroud the eternal sun-

-The façade and illusion-

-Deeper than the burial-





For once I had wished to Venus

In an age of plague,

Severance

Like waves upon distant clandestine shores

Clashing and fading

But never-ending
