Amor E Morte

Lyrics

Her bouquets are wilted, too long has she slept
 Their cruel red mouths darkened to bowed silhouettes
 I saw in a new moon, with her scent on my breath
 But then, all too soon, came the hunger for flesh
 I held her in eyes like necropoli laying her on a tomb with a view
 Lighting her from her feet to the stars in her hair
 Drove sweet blood to her throat, and my lips parted there
 In the tone of splintered bone
 She screams benighted, my limbs ignite
 A carnal carnivore on all fours to go
 Oh, an ebon Nemesis, from torture gardens of Dis
 Having never breathed an Eve as far narcotic as this
 Two spellbound hellhounds, hearts pounding loud
 Racing heaven out of focus under quicksilver clouds
 God is maimed, come, let us prey
 To lunar deities that pave dead ways
 Twixt the living and the grave (Amor e Morte)
 To cast our feral shadows there
 We made love bleed on a deathbed shared
 Where, begging me to feed to best be (were)
 I licked her wounds and ate her rare
 ♪
 Argentinum-spurred, her wanton words incurred
 A sin-ridden tongue to open trading in fur
 Never were those gates of pearl so rubbed to their cusp
 Never were the worlds above so bitten with the bestial
 Seraphim fell like guillotines
 Giving gracious head instead of harking prophecies
 And how our brothers sang (Amor e Morte)
 Theirs was a chorus for raucous souls
 Shifting shape and lifting napes to commemorate
 Erotic stains, Amor e Morte
 ♪
 Unfasten thy masque, come skyclad to my arms
 Leave thy gown a dark pool at thy feet
 I yearn musky valleys that no man hath seen
 The chill keen of stars over yew and deep wooded ravines
 A hidden meridian where Midian may be
 ♪
 In black antlered glades
 Incunted in this forest goddess, she whispers my name
 I buck under flames
 Animal nitrates howling through my veins
 ♪
 I ride riptides that wrest and writhe to the fore
 New lusts eclipsing lips that brought me to this verge of war
 With inner beasts unleashed to feast, fuck, and run
 Rampart in chase of she-wolf pacts forged on heat with setting suns
 I love the night, it would murder my soul, should I ever fall blind
 For though thy flesh haunts, I keep also in mind
 The stampede of clouds from dusk's predatory sky
 Purple-versed like the funeral hearse
 That first turned thee over to my
 Unbridled kiss when I found thee in mist
 Dressed for the sepulchre, my demon bride
 ♪
 God is maimed, come let us prey
 To lunar deities that pave dead ways
 Twixt the living and the grave (Amor e Morte)
 Ours was a chorus for raucous souls
 Shifting shape and lifting nape to commemorate
 Erotic stains
 ♪
