Beauty Slept In Sodom Lyrics
My anguished soul doth strainOn taut and twisted reinsYet, insatiate I still remainLike a proud, unfalled starThat dares thee from afarTo calm my thund'rous heartElse, rend it's knots apartSo I may never singOf jewelled skies o'er my stringsAnd love, a wanton thingCan plunge on burnt, black wingsTo hang amid the thornsIn scarlet, like velvet wornAbout the clouded moonWho wanes in solitude....I am aloneThirsting for the darkThat lurks beneath marbled stoneWhat black witchcraftShalt prise thee from thy dreamsAnd what perverse world-strategyWill wend it's way with thee from sleep?"Rouse my diseaseAnd with cadent naked dance I shalt teachThee wisdom of darknessFrom earth and red seaLightbearing SamaelCoalesce with me...."TwilightThrough pagan city gatesBred shadows play like twining snakeBy candlelightThanateros ritesDeath seduced and chaos wakes....Obsession grips, blindragon feverIn throes of scythed orgasm, Eros diesAnd Saturn rapes faith's lovelorn DivaUpon a cyprean altar, stripped bare for sacrificeVirtue births a demonPandora's box, unhinged, sets loose the nightWinged lilith born for want of EdenFanning plumes of harlotryLike pearls before the desert swineThe skies, they darkenAnd the oceans partStorm forth indignant KrakenReborn Venus as thou artFeasting at my banquetOf SaturnaliaI call thee having wrestledThe tides from lonely Diana"For thee EndymionI forsake the cerements of this star-flung tomb"Be-with-us comeUnveil the ancient flameThrow the cats our enemiesDesire's menstrual strainEastern Devil eyesA cruel erotic plagueThe Shekhina is in exileAnd the Israelites enslaved to shameMidnightJerusalemA tenebrous phantasyRevelates to menTheir celestial walls crumbleWhen walks the XulBorn to the scarlet whore in BabylonThe centuries of wait have all but goneBehold dark beauty stirs to conquer on and onNow worship Everything
