The fantastic weight of oceans
Cathedrals of immense awe The brilliance of erotic literature Enlightment of the whore Marvel at the hanging gardens The liars, faint with greed Sorrow at the wailing wall The mindless of their knees Lord, my flesh is tired Almighty soothsayer Lead me by the mind Through halls so... The truth of the Lord endureth forever Marvellous in our eyes I cannot die There is none to comfort me Mine enemies have heard my trouble Leave me in my misery Enjoy the darkness The fantastic weight of oceans Cathedrals of immense awe The brilliance of erotic literature Enlightment of the whore Marvel at the hanging gardens The liars, faint with greed Sorrow at the wailing wall The mindless of their knees |

Adorn magnificent costume
For I come to judge the world Be with me here in my dark place Let yours be mine Cut me and I do not bleed Heat is my body The poor and simple fools Equal under my presence Lift up your head Blessed in the womb that bare thee Feed us with knowledge Release us from atrocities And shades of sinister figures Bare witness to this orgy of glory Groping at my naked privacy Unleashing pure bitterness And I did bleed over them Hindered by savage plague Offspring wasting away Christ where is your mercy? Do listen to me pray? Cast upon us a pitying eye The baptism os such as is, Of riper years Am I blind? Who are you? He died that you might live And lived only to cleanse you From sin's polluting stain If I had the chance to cut you Believe me you would bleed And the rest... |

(The Silence)
Oh beautiful earth For too long you have been silent Touch me once again The dark ground lies cold Et gelidus hoc voluntas firma- mentum Hark Yes it is I The fever of mankind Urges whorish as ever I am the new Christ Silence yourself Nunquam You are powerless here Pityful one Pity me not Give back the sun Souls will mourn In this unending season of darkness Beware, ravaged one Mine is the might If you're feeble, turn away No dagger glints in my hand Technique is secret Liar She have herself to me (The Sadness) Please leave I think I'll close my eyes now The first sunshine was mine Look for me among the flowers Sleeping with the earth My Dying Bride The pity I fashion Through a rain of tears A tragic opus Immeasurable loss Tearful I rest Bask in my growing sorrow (The Lust) The females is such exquisite hell Lay my obscure hands upon you Macabre, erotica, passion Even in death, beauty is with you I extol you with loud praise You will grace my procession Why shouldn't I indulge In my own desires? Bare your breasts to slow kisses (The Battle) Away bastard dog Nunquam Down from your throne Nunquam A dagger glints in my hand Am I afraid? You'll perish alone Ha Pray to me Blasphemy Cry on me Die on me Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Suffer in your nakedness Before your dark art The filth and the stench of you I cry for you Is hell in itself Your reign is over now The sunlight will return To this once pertified earth Ego deicere tu pereant (The Return) Make me faint with with unending kisses My passions have all returned Warm my trembling hands We're scope for the tragedians I can see from your smile You're not here for the sunset |

Burdens of grief that weigh against me
Aid my tired eyes in their search for pitch Your kinds heart now pines For whom the gods love dies young Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears The sadness I present, smiles with tears Where once I'd loved now lied forlorn beauty And wars abhorred by mothers No man lives so poor as he was born We don't remember pure sensations Gaze peacefully into the past I am dust , and to dust I shall return Belial, Mephisto, both shall burn me up Devour my sad whimperings The cutting whip is mine to feel No symphony in mind to colour my dreams Poena damni Sorrow everywhere Please pray for me When deep sleep falls on men Father hold me I am yours to bear Ad te In the play which he has written for the world Night is the mother of sleep Old age is a malady of which one dies Augury of a better age Sages as far as the beard Their wounds smelled so sweetly Temptation, the father of my lust Chalcedony shines like the new born Stricken I'd raise my dripping limbs Splendid was the innocentcs fall Laugh to scorn would our foe Amid wars laws are silent Drop by drop in sleep upon the heart Falls the labrious memory of pain In the rich upheavel of vast choirs Death shall flee from me Misericordium et judicium Adhoest pavimento AD te levavi ocolus meos Verba mea auribus |

Pour yourself into me
Our time approaches so near, that I sigh What danger in such an adorer? We dance and the music dies We carry them all away As we glide through their lost eyes You lift me above myself With the ghostly lake on your mind Arise from your slumber in my arms Your beauty took the strength from me In the meadows of heaven, we run through the stars Romantic in our tastes, we are without excuse We burn in our lust, we die in our eyes And drown in our arms |

See the light and feel my warm desire, run through my veins like the evening sun.
It will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your name before I die. No person in everything can shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see. All a man hath will he give for life? For life that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before but it never hurt like this. Don't leave me here to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault before the throne of god. Take from me the crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll see? What do you think there will be? Sit down! Did you see the sun? What will we become? Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his name, behold them, raised, complete and fine. The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my hand and please walk with me. When I was young the sun did burn my face. I let its love and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues can poison my honest truth. Come dress me with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible mark in my head. My clean, white bed. It calls to me. I must lie down. And I want you to lay with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a balcony. For one last time, just walk with me. At the beautiful gate of the temple, we must be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the earth. |

I've seen them.
So dark. Black. And yet fine. The flower they carry had once been mine. Get away from me, man of stories. Robe of lies. Stay far from me. I lie to myself (it's not hurting). I need help, but not from you or yor father. No! Jesus Christ. Who's my saviour? Lose myself in gods death. No! I can't bear all this pain. I had watched the snow all day. Falling. It never lets up. All day falling. I lifted my voice and wept out loud, "So this is life?". |

The very deepest of your wishes.
Climb up high, take my hand. Tread carefully through these sickening angels. Look at your god. Look at the way he stands. The uterine murderess dies herself. Let me show you all my pain. Sardonyx lays waste to your eyes and leaves you blind. Gone is the day. They that did feed, delicately. Feed on me. The call has come, from bird and beast. Insect and serpent, and all that lives in the sea. And cities of fire, rip through me. My life a widower sad. On your knees, smell your disease. If i live you will be sorry. I have a thousand forms. Uninjured by your tongue. I'm working to ensnare you. Couple your name with cruelty. The mother of dying children. My hatred is unnumbered. It rises in my breast. We've lived with our suffering. But now...? |

So little of what we observe, is the girl herself.
Elaborate, scented coiffers. Adieu d'amour. Vast is the heirs ballroom. Let the rich give you presents. Heaven pours from her throat, as she sings and as she dances. The fumes of rich swine, honeyglazed and dripping, playing in the air. My mouth eager and wishing. But I return to this nightingale. Her hair all fiery red. Deep it is and wild. My weakness will be fed. Boys whipped on the alter of diana, sometimes until they died. The cunning wily merchant, and his four crippled horses. Tales told in warlike manner. The storyteller by the fire. While musing deeply on this sight, the songster stirred my desire. You are sweet and fine to listen to. Long tresses about her neck. Yet much is false. This mighty evening, I've seen no face. This is crushing me. My quill it aches. Turn loose the swans that drew my poets craft. I'll dwell in desolate cities. You burned my wings. I leave this ode, splendid victorious through the carnage. I wanted to touch them all. I wanted to touch them all. |

Your bloodied body is what I cling to.
In powerful rain, they laid down their heads to die. Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the sights of me. It's sad that, in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers. Your river holds a feast of danger. The suffering you have had to bear. I'd die for that moment one more time. The loved one falls below your ideals. Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest. The brave lick their sickening lips. Rigid, handsome and a poet. A king in his passionate castle. Where now? Feed me! Hold me! Save me! Save yourself! Where now? Which way? Dear god, show me. Take your own. Struggle free! Arise! You're Ruined! Stand down! Your kin, piled thick around you. Save yourself! |

I will not tell you not to cry Without fail my purpose Will be fulfilled I can crown you a God And I'll suffer for your sins Bound so tightly, pain is everything Far from kindness. I am your king Believe you're in Hell, but your's is Heaven Cry to die. You'll love me forever On a pale, teary cheek Tears cascade to your feet Whipped to the floor once again Laughing and lashing you away Burning pain scars through your skin But it's 'more' you cry, for you are a sinner We suffer in love, but you love to suffer Your misery is your majesty Though your skin may burn and your wounds, bleed The only real ache is between your legs You've learned well, through your Hell Your pain was nothing. You longed for more. Your shameful Heaven is full of devils Just like me. Just for you |

He is a killer She gives suffering She is a walking tall saint I am your stalking cruel fate He licks the face of your god for nothing He's coming closer She shows no fear But she will seduce him She gives suffering I am a hopeless witness He is the falling world's tears He knows the way to our heartland She's coming Through my short life I've been given no reasons I've looked but all I found was treason I've become lifeless so I'm taking you with me Why should I suffer for my own god's misery Kindness is always going to evade me Ill will is all I want you to see Life is a war that you must win outright Leave nothing standing in a show of your might Draw upon him my sighing breath And I will love him to my wicked death There is a song they sing her A sad warlike murmur She leaves the crying with nothing Then takes that too Now I'm a killer, and I have no faith You are the victim as I come for you We're all the same little losers But we fight like hell So come on, drop your guard now I'm coming through |

What do you see
What do you see when eyes are closed What do you feel What do you feel when she's below Who do you want Who do you want her to be. A star What do you see What do you see when eyes flick open Take her clothes off Down to the bone now She's looking dirty She's taking you, you're losing control You're going down You're lying naked You're underneath now And looking dirty You're taking her and you're going down Tasting her, tasting you You feel like the god of all love Young women fall and die at your feet One by one you will savage them all She licks you hard She'll swallow it all She'll suck you dry And beg for more The heat is on and you're dripping wet On the floor |

He was a poor man, though he was genius
Would they listen to this crazy man Would they help him to his end He was a tall man, pale skin and broken back And no-one knew him, though he was genius They feared him, locked him away And in silence would he pray He lived alone, though many voices spoke He found peace, in his own little world So they beat him, to his end He lays forgotten Dead skin and broken neck And no-one knew him Though he was genius Who was he, that crazy man Just a loser, to the end |

Time wears out affections.
I hope to be missed. Your presence on my wing. Arise from my sickness. My hopes, eclipsed by failures. Dismal moments fall on me. A terrible sobbing Echoed through my own house. The lightening gets frightening. Oh, cover me. Memories of her sadden me. (are killing me) Believe me. The suffering. The agony. My young love taken from me, Too early. Beware! I will seek you. Find you. Vengeance is mine. Wherever you hide You know I will find. Your face! I see, I won't forget. I'll be right there. Preying on you in every dream. You will never leave me again. By your red hand. You left me here to suffer and die. Eyes black. Cold face. Your stare burned me. The sears will be with me, Until my last day. My grip on you grows tight. I will choke you until I hear your last fucking breath. Into your eyes I'll smile. I'll cry. And when you are gone No-one alive will grief for you. |

To the Eden Feast Enter if you will This is Edenbeast Faces stay hidden Behind their dark masks In arms they enter The Great Hall of Sin Eden, calls again For sick minds. For me Inside there. All laid bare Take your pick. Devour now Lust clawing at your feet Desires for you to greet Every woman a handsome treat Young seed for you to reap Anyone that you desire Leave your faith at the door Any pleasures you require Lay all around, upon the floor Some call this blasphemy And try to end it all They question our sanity And preach Christliars' call "Seat yourself young man Do you see them feed? As the feast goes on, Do you feel their greed?" It's my fear that tears me down But this night we'll have no tears I want you. Beautiful gown Take my hand. We'll have no tears Kiss me deep. I want you now In my arms, we'll have no fears Inside there. All laid bare Take your pick. Devour now When you've had your fill Of poisonous flesh Leave this place of sin And watch your back for death |

Enter the Ghost Lake.
The waters whisper Of something brooding. No way out of here. Slow smouldering, Slow rain(ing) heat. Lapping at your skin Pulling you down again. I wish that I could Fan back to life The dying embers Of my long lost passion. Descending deeper. With black as my light. With twist and turn. All men will be tried in life. We look for light to call. The call to save us all. Lest we fall to our knees. The death, we kiss his feet. Oh, sacred mother come. For our fate is done. In blindness do we run Always backwards. The care of many Was lost in my hands. The sickness came in Floods of torment and woe. My withered body. Aching and bone tired. My christ who art lord. Hold me down again. Knee bent and head held low. Eyes closed against my foe. In prayer I sing on low. Answers to my last call. Oh, sacred father come. For it is you who's done. In blindness do we (signs "you will") run. And be sure not to fall. Oh, christ, what have I done? Ill fortune now will come. Fire raining from the sun. All virtue swept away. In floods of blackest death. The ghost will take my breath. My sins I will forget. I am nothing again. Exit the Ghost Lake. the waters silent. What now has risen? No man stands alone. The world is changing. 'Tis misery who Leads our way now. Holding man down. |

A cruel sleep 'cross our land
All withered and dying As the fall, the victims They're dying a sad death In our land, we lay down And suffer again A dark girl'cross our land Is pacing. Is preying And with her, a fever A marching black fever No eyes see. No features Just black form, suffering You have her sympathy You have her tears She tries only to take All your fears The pain she feels When she drinks your soul Is hers to suffer It is her toll Believe me, she's helpless When she curses our land When she swallows light It's not her hand Poison awaits when you kiss her Her heart cries out for you, for me Untold misery is hers to serve out for eternity Out cold. Mankind will stay forevermore if she gets her way She can't help it. It's her curse To sing your pain in her own verse She is the dark The nightmares you hide The pain you feel The suffering inside Though she was like you Through her dark past But now, the conqueror Her choirs vast Oh, please forgive her As mankind dies As angels weep And heaven cries |

Over me. Cover me.
Deep inside THE FEVER SEA. Lame from my mothers womb Born a cripple and sick. Under a red moon. My hands bleed. Feet red raw. I'm a broken man who dreamt the great war. The fear of life swallows me. Takes me through THE FEVER SEA. They crawl to me. Cry for me. I'll drown them all in THE FEVER SEA. The feast flows on forever. Devour me until never. Fill them all with horror. Let them sleep with terror. Who calls me now, then turns away? Who takes the night, and brings day? Lame from my fathers hand. Born to heal. Heal in every land. I will never get out. I even prayed unto his house. The cold feel of my skin. I try to lose but alwys win. Lame from my own hand. Believe me I've tried. Tried to make a stand. |

You know they lied.
To us they lied. Remember them? The final words. All these years. All these fears. Remember them? Ancient words. We'll take it from you when we like. You will suffer for nothing in your own home. Will you help me fight them off? They are killing me. Help me with my broken heart. The endless dark. Will you keep them far from me? Oh, the misery. I need a friend to lay upon. To be my sun. Oh, lord help me with my pain. I'm dead again. Beliefs have taken me to my end. Beliefs have taken me down again. The words I have followed, took me down again. The lies that I have read over again. Leaves are falling words from the earth. Spoken in silence. Never heard. |

An isle, a bright shining isle
Stands forever, alone in the sea Of rock and of sand and grass And shale, the isle bereft of trees. - Small. A speck in the wide blue Sea. 'Tis the last of all the land. A dweller upon our lonesome Isle, the last, lonely man? - By the Gods he is there to Never leave, to remain all his Life. His punishment for Evermore, to attend the Eternal light. The lighthouse, tall and brilliant White, which stands at the end Of the world. Protecting ships And sailors too, from rock they Could be hurled Yet nothing comes and nothing Goes 'sept the bright blue sea. Which stretches near and far Away, 't is all our man can see. Though, one day, up high on Rock, a bird did perch and cry. An albatross, he shot a glance, And wondered deeply, why? Could it be a watcher sent? A curse sent from the Gods, Who sits and cries and stares at him, The life that they have robbed. Each year it comes to watch Over him, the creature from above. Not a curse but a reminder of The woman that he loved. - Oh weary night, under stars, He'd lay and gaze. Up towards the moon and stars. The suns dying haze. Time and again, Orion's light Filled our man with joy. Within the belt, he'd see his love, Remembering her voice - The twinkle from the stars above bled peace into his heart As long as she looks down on him he knows they'll never part One day good, one day bad The madness, the heat, the sun, Out to sea, he spies upon land. His beloved Albion. Cliffs of white and trees of green Children run and play, 'My home land' he cries and weeps, Why so far away? Eyes sore and red. Filled with tears, He runs towards the sea. To risk his life, a worthy cause, For home he would be. Into the sea, deep and blue, The waters wash him clean. Awake. He screams. Cold with sweat. And Albion a dream. - Such is life upon the isle, Of torment and woe. One day good. One day bad. And some days, even hope. The light at the end of the world Burns bright for mile and mile Yet tends the man, its golden glow, In misery all the while? For fifty years he stands and waits, Atop the light, alone. Looking down upon his isle The Gods have made his home - The watcher at the end of the world Through misery does defile. Remembers back to that single night And allows a tiny smile. (His sacrifice was not so great, He insists upon the world. Again he would crime, Again he would pay, For one moment with the girl) Her hair, long and black it shone, The dark, beauty of her eyes, Olive skin and warm embrace, Her memory never dies. 'Twas years ago, he Remembers clear The life they once did live. Endless love and lust for life, They promised each would give. Alas, such love and laughter too, Was short as panting breath For one dark night, her soul Was kissed By the shade of death. (Agony, like none before, Was suffered by our man.) Who tends the light now Burning bright On the very last of land. (Anger raged and misery too Like nothing ever before.) He cursed the Gods and man And life, And at his heart he tore. - A deity felt sympathy And threw our man a light 'Your woman you may see again, For a single night. - But think hard and well young man, There is a price to pay: To tend the light at the end of The world Is where you must stay. Away from man and life and love. Alone you will be. On a tiny isle. A bright shining isle In the middle of the sea.' - 'I'll tend the light, for one more night With the woman whom I love', Screamed the man, with tearful eyes, To the deity above. And so it was that very night His lover did return. To his arms and to their bed, Together they did turn. In deepest love and lust and passion Entwined they did fall. Lost within each other's arms They danced (in lover's ball). - - Long was the night filled with love. For them the world was done. Awoke he did to brightest light, His woman and life had gone. To his feet he leapt. To the sea he looked. To the lighthouse on the stone. The price is paid and from now on He lives forever alone. Fifty years have passed since then And not a soul has he seen. But his woman lives with him still In every single dream. 'Tis sad to hear how young love has died To know that, alone, someone has cried. But memories are ours to keep. To live them again, in our sleep.- |

I clasp her dying body to bloody mine
The essential nature of her was so fine With torn garments she lays in my arms Womanly graces laid bare No dignity Cast aside like nothing at all Torn was she Shot down and strewn on wasteland In her prime Opened up for the world to see Oh, the love of mine No more tears for me now Lose all fears for me now Should I seek revenge or let it lie? Should I find the one and let him die? I wonder what you would do If it were you One black, furious midnight Through howling rain I descended right upon him My weeping prey Kissing him as his life ended In the rain Sweet was my revenge A life for life I feel no remorse The night he died I wonder what you would do If it was you? |

Eyes don't look back Pale skin and cold. Lying in her fold She came, she saw, she took anything she liked My eyes burned with her horror They fell, they screamed, they wept but they died From hands of the abhorrer We are hers when we are bleeding The love that we feel Amourous when she is feeding My heart shen can steal |

So deep The tears you cry will devour me A flower to behold Don't run. Don't blow away Breathless to my eyes So bright. Never to fade Calmness and mystery Entwines and captivates me Delicate to the touch From what I could see I only wanted to get you close to me To feel the love inside of me You turned away from me You looked the other way You didn't see my tears for you I only wanted to take you in my arms, And lay you down here with me You tried to turn and flee from my side You tore out the heart of me If only you had stayed. What may have been? We could have been beautiful Could have walked the earth, flown into the skies, Swam the deepest of the seas But you couldn't see anything in me You strayed too far from my path Maybe now you'll see everything in me I'm sorry it had to be this way Your eyes.

You'll perish alone Ha Pray to me Blasphemy Cry on me Die on me Let me out Let me out! Let me out!!! Suffer in your nakedness Before your dark art The filth and the stench of you I cry for you Is hell in itself Your reign is over now The sunlight will return To this once petrified earth Ego deicere tu pereant Make me faint with unending kisses My passions have all returned Warm my trembling hands We're scope for the tragedians I can see from your smile You're not here for the sunset |

Got no time today, I'm still stuck in this crowd Pushing them from my face, she isn't far behind I'll win this human race if I obey the signs Throw my hands in the air I'm fucking mad, no one cares I'd kill them all without a thought Take a bow when I get caught She's closer now, just a throw away I cannot slow, I cannot stay She screams to me, one last chance I stumble 'round and catch a glance |

I’m gonna open up your gate And maybe tell you ’bout Phaedra And how she gave me life And how she made it end Some velvet morning when I’m straight Some velvet morning when I’m straight I’m gonna open up your gate And maybe tell you ’bout Phaedra And how she gave me life and how she made it end Some velvet morning when I’m straight Flowers are the things we knew Secrets are the things we grew Learn from us very much Look at us, but do not touch Phaedra is my name Some velvet morning when I’m straight I’m gonna open up your gate And maybe tell you ’bout Phaedra And how she gave me life And how she made it end Some velvet morning when I’m straight |

What is it you hope for, even though you are dying?
And even though life is closing your tiny eyes Why did I leave them all? I should be with them to die in the same place The pain I think, should go on forever, for always But no, not mine, not now, my life now begins Call me what you will, but I'll die for no man, at all My limbs and the life that spreads from them Cross my path and you'll suffer like no man before, at all What I hunger for, is the trial of God For just two winters only did we live for My God, what have you become? dear, dear Lord We could have changed the world, had you been here with me Right now, held you in my arms, in my arms, my love Jesus wept so man could live forever on earth, in peace But my tears, they fall for you, only you |

Burdens of grief that weigh against me
Aid my tired eyes in their search for pitch Your kinds heart now pines For whom the gods love dies young Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears The sadness I present, smiles with tears Where once I'd loved now lied forlorn beauty And wars abhorred by mothers No man lives so poor as he was born We don't remember pure sensations Gaze peacefully into the past I am dust , and to dust I shall return Belial, Mephisto, both shall burn me up Devour my sad whimperings The cutting whip is mine to feel No symphony in mind to colour my dreams Poena damni Sorrow everywhere Please pray for me When deep sleep falls on men Father hold me I am yours to bear Ad te In the play which he has written for the world Night is the mother of sleep Old age is a malady of which one dies Augury of a better age Sages as far as the beard Their wounds smelled so sweetly Temptation, the father of my lust Chalcedony shines like the new born Stricken I'd raise my dripping limbs Splendid was the innocentcs fall Laugh to scorn would our foe Amid wars laws are silent Drop by drop in sleep upon the heart Falls the labrious memory of pain In the rich upheavel of vast choirs Death shall flee from me Misericordium et judicium Adhoest pavimento AD te levavi ocolus meos Verba mea auribus |

Your bloodied body is what I cling to.
In powerful rain, they laid down their heads to die. Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the sights of me. It's sad that, in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers. Your river holds a feast of danger. The suffering you have had to bear. I'd die for that moment one more time. The loved one falls below your ideals. Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest. The brave lick their sickening lips. Rigid, handsome and a poet. A king in his passionate castle. Where now? Feed me! Hold me! Save me! Save yourself! Where now? Which way? Dear god, show me. Take your own. Struggle free! Arise! You're Ruined! Stand down! Your kin, piled thick around you. Save yourself! |

Walk with, with me. I'll be your Shadow God
For now, just now. Give your life to me Your hope, your hope. I feel its steady hand Your heart, your fear. Take off and flee Trust me, just me. I'll catch you if you fall My arms run deep. Run unto my call I'll lead you into danger And all that troubles man I'll lead you far from hunger Just take my frozen hand You'll want the world to praise you And gather at your feet You'll want my blinding light And my searing heat I will lift you above their crying world Into your heart comes the love of fear You vanity, your sanctity Your kindless heart Your reverance. Your ignorance Your black uncaring eyes No sumpathy for humanity. Bleak horror The genocide, the parasites The kingdom of the ghost At one with fear Careless if you fall Beneath the earth Your heart may feel the call Can't let your mind be tainted By the praying men Divinity burns in thunder Over again Eventide. By your side All things because of you Fantasize. At my side. The lonely, the few God above. Lord and love. It's fools love heart of fire. Lord and liar don't falter |

Open me And drink up my scarlet Kiss me deep Kiss me deep and love me forever more Bloody love Bloody love inside of you Swallow me Thank God, there's nothing I can do Come with me my friend, come and see the end And let me swallow up your pain Leave the village lights, step into the night Open your mouth to my bloody rain And at your second birth, we will slay the earth And stalk mankind 'til Heaven burns Just lay down for me, naked for me to see It's just one kiss, that's all I need Take me down Down to the bloody shore Dig me deep, dig me deep And leave me forever more Lay me down Down with all of them And forget me Like you forgot the rest of them |

A cruel sleep 'cross our land
All withered and dying As the fall, the victims They're dying a sad death In our land, we lay down And suffer again A dark girl'cross our land Is pacing. Is preying And with her, a fever A marching black fever No eyes see. No features Just black form, suffering You have her sympathy You have her tears She tries only to take All your fears The pain she feels When she drinks your soul Is hers to suffer It is her toll Believe me, she's helpless When she curses our land When she swallows light It's not her hand Poison awaits when you kiss her Her heart cries out for you, for me Untold misery is hers to serve out for eternity Out cold. Mankind will stay forevermore if she gets her way She can't help it. It's her curse To sing your pain in her own verse She is the dark The nightmares you hide The pain you feel The suffering inside Though she was like you Through her dark past But now, the conqueror Her choirs vast Oh, please forgive her As mankind dies As angels weep And heaven cries |

The destroying genius of idols
Will shroud the world with utter lies Dance the cobbles, his abode named Dis Portraits have spoken their masters distress Icons with kisses, tell me who have seen this Failing Enochian tapestries Depict the prince of fallen virtues In almost poetic rhapsody Masterbate to the sound of the knell The Patchetic stench of dying children Perhaps our fall is certain Limbs entwined in absolute contoursion Please put off your veil Your heart is blameless And I shudder for knowing it A hot May makes a fat churchyard And Lychfowel breed in chaotic frenzy Her cry was the saddest of all earths sounds Trauma bites hard the hearts of Kin Swept away by a moments sadness They say rage is a brief madness By way of the beloveds farewell Give back to nature what we first did take And monuments would slowly fill The agendas' of Kings and Queens In silence our faces bleed The holy voice torn away by the gale Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you Love is a game where both players cheat Gone is the tale of Hero and Leander Women are angels yet wedlock's the devil To have and to hold but death no longer parts Harlots and sluts, whores of our world Expose their stinking vaginas' Many who have no will of their own Hold their souls towards the sinister bloom Are you rich oh lord of vanity As you peddle your wears of cruelty Dressed up so you look the part So blind, it's ignorance you wear Quite brutal beyond belief Sores that weep their septic tears Dragged out through war torn lifetimes And death shall feast on us all The mills of God grind slowly The adorable light of that which is most divine The fascination of her shape With mansions of awe and splendour Elegant in simplicity So at last your faith rewards you Through fields enriched with pastel shade And fragrant lavenders soft to smell You laugh and drink wine of no great age Nature does scent the farthest shores Face to face your angelic host All hopes in you imperishably kept Is God your wish and all your dreams If your body is frail then yes by all means Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you |

You can't expect to see him and survive
You'll swallow his tongue of thorns His mouth, dripping with flies In his glorious kingdom of fire But I believe he wept I will make them all lie down Down where hope lies dying With lust, you're kicking mankind to death We live and die without hope You tramp us down in a river of death As I stand here now, my heart is black I don't want to die a lonely man This is a weary hour This is a weary hour |

Over me. Cover me.
Deep inside THE FEVER SEA. Lame from my mothers womb Born a cripple and sick. Under a red moon. My hands bleed. Feet red raw. I'm a broken man who dreamt the great war. The fear of life swallows me. Takes me through THE FEVER SEA. They crawl to me. Cry for me. I'll drown them all in THE FEVER SEA. The feast flows on forever. Devour me until never. Fill them all with horror. Let them sleep with terror. Who calls me now, then turns away? Who takes the night, and brings day? Lame from my fathers hand. Born to heal. Heal in every land. I will never get out. I even prayed unto his house. The cold feel of my skin. I try to lose but alwys win. Lame from my own hand. Believe me I've tried. Tried to make a stand. |

I've seen them.
So dark. Black. And yet fine. The flower they carry had once been mine. Get away from me, man of stories. Robe of lies. Stay far from me. I lie to myself (it's not hurting). I need help, but not from you or yor father. No! Jesus Christ. Who's my saviour? Lose myself in gods death. No! I can't bear all this pain. I had watched the snow all day. Falling. It never lets up. All day falling. I lifted my voice and wept out loud, "So this is life?". |

So little of what we observe, is the girl herself.
Elaborate, scented coiffers. Adieu d'amour. Vast is the heirs ballroom. Let the rich give you presents. Heaven pours from her throat, as she sings and as she dances. The fumes of rich swine, honeyglazed and dripping, playing in the air. My mouth eager and wishing. But I return to this nightingale. Her hair all fiery red. Deep it is and wild. My weakness will be fed. Boys whipped on the alter of diana, sometimes until they died. The cunning wily merchant, and his four crippled horses. Tales told in warlike manner. The storyteller by the fire. While musing deeply on this sight, the songster stirred my desire. You are sweet and fine to listen to. Long tresses about her neck. Yet much is false. This mighty evening, I've seen no face. This is crushing me. My quill it aches. Turn loose the swans that drew my poets craft. I'll dwell in desolate cities. You burned my wings. I leave this ode, splendid victorious through the carnage. I wanted to touch them all. I wanted to touch them all. |

Your unbreathing sleep.
Our dreamless bed, Is mine to keep. In my dark eyes and frozen arms, Nothing lives 'cept my harm. Now you're worn with years. Years and sorrows. Like saint with arrows. Once again it die with a humble sigh. Calm this tide, tide of sorrow. He leads me away and I follow. Sighs and then slumbers, Wakes and sighs again. Opens up the eyes, Sees the ghost again. Our dying love, it prays in vain to live, And pleads for help, I simply cannot give. My devoted love takes tiny backward Steps away. Loneliness aplenty spread before me. |

Come from where you hide.
(So I may) unchain my tempest. None will stop my tide. (And you will) tremble at my unrest. Find you I will (And take you) up into your Heaven. Commeth soon the kill. (For I have taken) kings and feeble men. And my fury stand ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought. Feasting myself sick, On your pathetic sins. Wound for me to lick. The work of slaughter begins. In my face see your killer. You can wish me away. In your face I still see her. No more shall you betray. In her face (she) saw her killer. Thou shalt not pray. |

So vile men's torment was truly a pleasure
A plain that would change mankind for ever more Catherine Blake slept fitfully in the summer night. In the heat. She murmured gently and moved smoothly, this way and that. Oh, the beauty. Her luscious eyes, delicate fingers, clawed at her sodden bed. Catherine smiled. Took a fabulous breath of summer air and tasted death. Die Erorians' visit had been successful rewarding. With night of female screams of whimpers, lustful dreams. Night followed rampant night of delicate soft gasps. The ultimate attack on Heaven and it's glories. Seduce them as they slept, oblivious to their midnight tryst. The seed of doom was planted. Phantom raped in their dreams. The sad ones take their own lives. Slay their men night after night. Catherine Blake dreamt of a horror. Of passion too and of terror. Over her silent breast, shadows swept, shades caressed. Motherhood was destroyed by the seed and laid to waste. A great rift was born. Men and the world were torn. The daggers went in deep, vile and sickening. Women swept awat all infancy from their wombs. And still the Lord God remained silent, no utterance, no movement, no tears. The earth became red. The cutting machines of man. Disgust and hatred for the lives of woman. The butchery, the savagery,did spill unto themselves. A chorus of agony from Heaven and Rain poured In a colossus of angels tears. The creature of all sins. The lord of the bleakest abode. Did wonder at the silence. What did the Almighty know? All Hell did fill with the screaming souls of dead men. The mighty army of God did stand and wait, Hoping our lord would unleash them all. The great fiery pit. Hordes ripped apart. Chaos ensued, screaming from the dark. Observing his darkened child, in the miserable corners of earth The great heart of God will heal up the earth. The Lord watched as his beloved slipped silently Back into the darkness below. |

Under the darkened, ancient oak
Gentle in the night's breeze I stop and stare, rest a while With hands upon my knees Through jaded leaves, bush and scrub I spy my journey's end Black it looms, silent gloom The castle called Avend On I trot, past forest eyes Past horrors of the night Through the dark, I see a sign A gentle glowing light Upon reaching the castle I ascend the ivy Towards the golden window My heart pounds, my breath is rushed As I fight both brick and branch The ledge is mine and over I sweep Silent like the falling snow Quiet, I slip across the polished floor Tonight, I will dine with chance The Blue Lotus, a legend, I thought a myth Old poems and stories gone A beauty of unimaginable lust Both men's hearts, and Gods, were won Skin like milk, an angel's face They say her smile could kill Her hair the blackest of all black Stories I thought though, still So there she lay sleeping upon the bed Half covered by fantastic silks Her breast I see, moves with her dreams A sight I will always recall A single candle that showed me the way Through forest, river and hills Glows upon that lovely skin Shadows dancing around the walls Closer I creep, toward my prize The Blue Lotus lies before me Her lips are full, red as blood Moist as they invite me Stoop I did to kiss those lips In that glowing room When suddenly, she did awake, Her eyes filled with doom From silks, her hands were round my neck Escape there was no hope A brief flash of teeth is all I saw And gone was my throat Her blood lust deep, she swallowed me Red was all I saw She drank her fill and watched me fall Gently to the floor A league away my death is found By locals who tens this land Who lay me down in shallow earth A single lotus placed in my hand |

I cannot turn my life unto you.
A storm of ebony hair. A hail of wickedness. Handsome as a God. Wild and shameless. Given the prize of beauty. Image of wretchedness. Divine like no other. Kiss the poison breast. Flamed like the sun. Lives made undone. Words soft as snow. Souls claimed and won. An opiate drugged haze. Beds of shapeless dust. Cries all night. Dreams of my filthy lust. Lair of hopelessness. Mires of sorrow. Never fails. Our lives are borrowed. Hold fast my soul. She waits for me in my dreams. Every night misery brings. Haunts my day. Haunts my wake. Oh, my lord can't you feel her grow, inside of me. Tearing my mind. For once my lord please help me Believe in you. She claims the day in her name. Over you and over me. We dare to be ourselves. Next to her and all her war. She comes our way and takes the day, From my hands, it is her way. The milk of woman fill up my Branching veins and lonely heart. Trembling children she adores, and gives flight to her art. When April sheds her fitful rain, Glory be, we may live again. Truly my hope will perish within her. Truly as always I cannot forgive her. Cruelly she keeps me near to her. Forever to this day. |

The empire of my desire Gathers you into my fire I hope you fall. Hope you call, My filthy name. It makes you crawl On you knees, with all your pleas. Lay down there, look up at me. Are you alive my dear,and breathing? Are you diseased my dear,and bleeding? I'll lift you high my dear, I'll have you dreaming. 'Tis time to say farewell, to your pleading. Poor devils as thou art. A ruin at my feet. Go drop your little life, and welcome up my sleep. So briefly at my side. So simple in defeat. No more lies utter from you. From mine eyes I must take you. No longer wise. Nothing is new. Tears for my trembling faith. You shall not die unsung. Goodbye my dear, you wicked thing. I have no tears, beautiful thing. No silver pail to catch them in. So ends this tale you did not win. |

Loathsome I've become.
Acreature so undome. Wretched and broken. Cannot find my faith. Any God will do. Nothing said is new Nothing said is true. Fly away my hope. The embrace of shade holds me dear. Eats me away. Loose the dogs of disgrace upon me. I have no faith. Raise the poor outcast I have become. I am undone. Calm is the air. Still is the sea. The valley of death keeps calling me. Rest my eyes from the world. This dying place, it's so absurd. Oh, Christ above, whom I love. Lost to me. My snow white dove. Make this day like the night. Song of darkness. Words of light. Pulling down my heart. I won't forget my lovers heart. With utter loathing and scorn, I was somehow born. Strewn in black decay. None shall I obey. The wreckage of my flesh. The nakedness of my death. |

A Serpent it came to me
Right before my eyes I looked to God way above me He looked down at my lies I said "oh Lord please help me I am on my knees" "Your path is yours" he told me "Yours to reap" A mighty wind did pull me Tore at my face My flesh is raped at his hand I am the world's disgrace The Heaven opened above me And down Gods tears came Lashing away at my skin My stinking, rotten frame I though I'd fought the demons that roamed above me I thought I'd slew their blood red hands Their hearts still beat with all the hatred for me Their mark still burns into my very soul And I walk with them.

An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of loneliness I carved through the waves of grief In a black vastness of self doubt I have never felt so alone So pitiful and wretched and low I'm tried by a terrible wind The misery and the pains blow Fill my vast sails of ruin Steer me toward a bleak end A horizon of purples and reds The still waters of my welcome end The clouds of grey come overhead A storm will hunt me down And rip the guts out of my body That I would surely drown The unforgiving wind searches And lashes me like a whip The self-pity overwhelms me My heart sinks like a ship Thrashing out at torment and pain The maddened sea engulfs me I let myself be swallowed up The magnificent weight upon me Deeper I go, deeper down Didn't think it could get any blacker The cold bites, the pressure builds I think I no longer matter Can't tell if my eyes are open or closed The grieving waters swallow The pain I'm in through my life of sin The Devil will doubtless follow Loneliness is agony For those of you who know A war of grief and sadness rages Through mind, body and soul When lovers die and friendships fade When kin all lie forgotten The gates of agony spew forth Your memories, stinking and rotten So deep now I feel so numb I'm ravaged by utter loss The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain My body, they all will wash I hope I ne'er return to life Oh, Christ just let me go Let death devour my Simple soul Lest my misery grow I quietly leave. A lonely sight Relieved of all my guilt To join a wall of deepest Hell The Devil himself has built. |

Burns like fire Rosy, sweet breath, and your desire Your skin is all I want to take from you Your mind is naught unto me, I'll leave behind Bound together The darkest embrace Bound forever We will be chaste I paw at you golden flesh Golden breast I sail on your, on your sea Of ecstasy. God, I want you. Just be mine Because you haunt me all the time Your pain, it talks to me Your pain, it really talks to me Your pain, it talks to me and I heed it well My hands, your neck, they greet each well in a loving hell This hold we have can't last because it's killing me Farewell my love.

Denial of our shadow side
Will often cause it to rise up Against us That he does not need to die Allows his mind to soar To fly What if love's intolerable pain never leaves? What will your life's mark leave upon this world? What now, will my dark craft do with your body now? We walk as Gods together through a fiery dawn What if you love someone you know you shouldn't love? What will your dying father's last words to you be? What now, the painting of young lovers is complete? What if love's intolerable pain never leaves us? So we dash our bleeding hearts on the rocks of loneliness? And cry unto the lords above who turn away in haste? From the heart Heart of snow Comes the ice It's crushing blow From the soul Whose love is sound Comes the cold It's frozen ground. |

Everyone knows her.
knows her name. Deadly Siren, that's her game They want to be near her. Playing her game Get to know her. What's her name? She strides among us with a burning fire. Her victims endless, piling higher And I run along with them, the heaving mass, fighting anyone to get past I want her fire, her burning fire, her dark caress, her red hot kiss I want desire, her roaring fire, from milk white breast to raven tress I want her nights, morning light, her endless days, amazing grace I'm on her trail every single day Ahead, she glides, I stumble blindly in her wake I witnessed lovers torn by her. Teary maidens killing her You'll never be lovers when she's in town because in her eyes, we all drown Broken-hearted, we leap to God, and die like lovers everyone forgot I tremble when she passes by. Lord make her mine or let me die She looked at me. Her eyes! her eyes! They drew me in. Her sin! Her lies! I see my final night Glory, what a sight! The blood, the wine, the roses And me all snowy white Her hands on me, it's ecstasy. It's Heavenly, it's God I see I risk a kiss. One kiss One kiss! I knew from then my life had died Hold me now my father Now my days are done I would do it all again Because she was the one Torment me you fucking bastard! I'll seek you once I rise Look behind.

this hall The Holy house, House of God will fall To death they go with music and song But our dread simply must go on I feel our need to feed goes on For our greed, watch them bleeding on This hour's ours, with open arms go on Crowned with thorns and pain was he Raised our hands and slew him utterly Crimson waves of the tears of war This is what we were put here for Eden falls, Mercy for life I hear their calls Stood and watched them die Heaven crawls. Wings burn on high Beauty falls. Beg unto me why? Fold thy raven wings 'Tis our duty, darkness brings If this day be our last Our victims await For they are vast In fiery death we will crawl away Content we lived for each and every day Black and burned with a stench of decay. |
