Tortured Sould Asylum

Lyrics

Oh sweet Midian
 I burn for thee at heart
 Don't despair me
 Come bare me on wings of graveyard robbed leather
 To where pleasure rings deep secrets in spurts after dark
 ♪
 Under full moons waxing lyrically
 Death's poetry floods the soul
 Like the freezing seed of a demon freed
 To curse the stars with vertigo
 And in their dance, in trance I've prised wide
 Slick rifts twist obsidian thighs
 Hymeneal gates to darker sides
 A glimpse of plinths where Midian lies
 (Midian)
 ♪
 Haunted by this portent
 This obsession in my mind
 With a city sunk below
 Tall cedar groves and graves sublime
 Sporting their importance
 Marble wings spread to the skies
 A vale of dreams that it would seem
 The daylights race to leave behind
 These visions struck like a furious fuck
 Nailing wet lips to cold cemetery walls
 Flashes of lust to dust
 Splashed across my psychic pall
 As hybrid lovers reached their cusp with final thrusts I saw it all
 Forbidden Midian
 A long fabled Judecca
 A sanctuary for sin
 (To rival Heaven)
 (Free of Eden's tragic wreck)
 Small mercies in vistas of dolmen and vault
 Gaunt, haunched edifices
 Midst lightfingered mists
 From whence more awful shadows drew back rusted bolts
 And dared a threshold, the searing sun had knelt to kiss
 Shades of dusk, cruelty and myth
 The Tribes of Christ will not forgive
 And shall not suffer their kind to live
 For I, mesmerized, started not from tombs
 Or their waltz so sibilant through the gathering gloom
 But from flumes of the moon in bloom
 Baring cach a face effaced and raped in the womb
 In hidden Midian
 A vatican lying in state for the sanctity of sin
 (To rival Heaven)
 (Above Eden's birth defects)
 Small mercies in vistas where dolmen and vault
 Caught twisted whispers where fisted sisters
 Haunched, flaunted orifice
 Midst lighter fingered mists
 Whilst I watched without revolt carnalities few beasts permit
 Between the dog and wolf
 Bared fangs met in intercourse
 A nightly rite of teeth and cunt
 For those below who rose to hunt
 Saw sights that preyed on me for days
 And in laudenum's haze I painted them all
 The slew of sith and kin
 I drew in blood, my veins in thrall to Deathugees at peace within
 
 Crotesques and wolves in womens' skins
 The raven winged and missing limbed
 Suicides and split thighed Seraphim
 And marble stairs, stargazers dare ascend like prayer
 (Under fullmoons waxing lyrically)
 (Death's poetry floods the soul)
 Like the recking weed of a demon freed
 To curse the star with vertigo
 And in their dance, in trance I prise wide
 Slick rifts twist obsidian thighs
 Hymeneal gates to other sides
 A labyrinth wherein Midian hides
 ♪
 (Midian)
 I know I've seen
 Through the blackbacked mirrors in sanity
 Lucent prides amassed in last retreat
 Purient souls but no more freaks
 Than those leashing dreams at harm's length from me
 And just like grim ascension prophecies
 My revenge, carved deep, will be
 A grisly plot that reads
 Like my filthy white ward spattered with their screams
 When my Deviliverers come from fog for me
 ♪
 Please come for me
 ♪
 Exhuming the moon through the bars in my room
 The sooner the bitter pills swallowed are through
 But no Genobites rise to claim me for you
 No! No! No! No! No!
 Don't leave here in this storm weathered cell
 No! No! No! No! No!
 With prophets and losses and dead men from crosses
 My fate is a preview of derelict Hell
 Midian
