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 to 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 carneal carnivore

On all fours to go...

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 deadways

Twixt the living and the grave

Amor e Morte

To cast our fearl 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 watnon 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 brother sang

Amor e Morte

In the thick evergreens

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

Encunted 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 ecllipsing 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 deadways

Twixt the living and the grave

Amor e Morte

Ours was a chorus for raucous souls

Shifting sape and lifting nape

To commemorate

Erotic stains

Amor e Morte
