Dusk And Her Embrace

Lyrics

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake
 And the mists steal in with ease
 Covened wolves arc their eerie dissonant napes
 In adoration of the moon and thee
 They call as I to thee
 And I will come, as if in dream
 My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen
 Of vengeful, ancient breed
 Gilded with the pelts of many enemies
 Erishkigal, raven-haired
 Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
 I can taste thy scent by candlelight
 Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair
 Appease the beast on spattered sheets
 Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps
 Nocternity
 She shall come for me
 A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life
 Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night
 And I have ridden from the westerning light
 To expend my lust
 Tear away the funereal dress
 Know that I will escape from my death
 Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpend caress
 Lo! The pale moonlight
 Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline
 Of mist and moth and the hunger inside
 Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise
 Through twilight, darkness and moonrise
 My scarlet tears will run
 As stolen blood and whispered love
 Of fantasies undone
 Countess swathed in ebony
 And snow-white balletic grace
 Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish
 For lust and her disgrace
 Dusk and her embrace
 We shall flit through the shadows
 Like a dream of werewolves in the snow
 Under deadly nightshade
 Still warmed with the kill's of afterglow
 Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me
 (Beneath the stars taste the death in me)
 Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss
 To sever thin mortality
 Elizabeth
 My heart is thine
 Thy fragrant words
 Warm within like wine
 Let me come to thee
 With eyes like Asphodel
 Moon-glancing, loose desires free
 To writhe under my spell
 Ereshkigal, raven-haired
 Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
 I know thy scent by candlelight
 Immortal flesh I yearn to share
 Appease the beast on spattered sheets
 Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
 Nocternity
 She shall come for me
 Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus
 How the full embosomed fog
 Imparts the night to us
