Maldoror's Love

For your love I'll pip the shell 'til it breaks
 And releases a thousand hounds
 For your love I'll sleep centuries of sleep in
 The deserts of your soul
 For your love I'll wear flower petals that
 Wither in the burning sun
 For your love I'll stand by the window and
 Lick your tears 'til dawn
 For your love I'll seek God among the serpents howling
 Who do you love?
 For your love my heart will beat the centuries
 Of woe they call the blues
 For your love I'll slouch towards Golgatha, hail,
 Who do you love?
 For your love I will wander endlessly in the
 spices of your perfumes
 There's nothing as cold
 as the faces of statues (for your love)
 And the sea is only meant for drowning,
 yet we're on pedestals (for your love)
 My wife is holding my hand there
 on the beach (for your love)
 Oh, for your love
