Cruelty Brought The Orchids Lyrics
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasure somehow...Maleficent in dusky roseGathered satin lapped Her breastsLike blood upon the snowA tourniquet of TopazGlistened at Her throatAwakening, pulled from the tombHer spirit freed eclipsed the moonThat She outshone as a fallen starA regal ornament from a far flung nebularHer likeness hung in the black galleryCommanding uneaseDemanding of Death to breathe...Midst the whirl and daylight faunaOf society at courtElizabeth bedazzled, Her presence sought applauseThough Her torchlit shadowThrown upon damp cellar wallsGreeted nothing but despair from slaves Her nights enthralledThirteen Winter solstices had shownHer path, that the darkHad marked its dominionSpaying the confessorWhose caresses she'd known,As whipcord in the House of DogHer cold cunt meat on holy boneRaped of faith, She now embracedThe narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's faceWith this disdain, inside these veins(Highborn wanton that She was)She sought to keep what age would claimHer soul was sold and for this tollReeking pyres ever smoulderedOn the whims of one so in controlElizabeth, mysterious.Cruelty brought thee orchidsFrom the bowels of the abyssOnce upon atrocity when midwitches stifled criesAnd carved abortive runes in reddened wombsExhumed by scrying eyesMadness came uponHer like an amourous lover's seedLifesblood splashed upon Her skinIn gouts torture unleashedAnd to Her dead reflectionTwas as if Her pallor gleamedLike an angel's warmed by candlesWhere erotic stains had cleavedSo demons dragged this libertineLusts screaming for releaseUpon the flesh of maidens preenedAs canvas for capriceExacting obeisanceHer gaze held a seanceOf spirits too trapped under glass to communeA sleeter mistress than LunaWhose threats to consume HerMet with torments giving vent to Her swoonFlat on Her backPack-prey for the reamsOf verses and cursesThat haunted Her dreamsMidnightmare chimedThirteen in Her mindA disciple of scarsBranded years hissed behindRidden split-thighedBy the Father of liesAn ovation of wolvesBlushed the skies as they writhedBut Heaven is never foreverShe came, a spent stormFrom the clouds...Leaving serpents in officeInside every gateTo lick righteous holesBlinding Lords to the fateOf virgins forced nakedTo defile on rent kneesHacked and racked backwardsMenses choking their pleas"More. Whore. More.Twitching make me wet with theeCarcass rub me raw"
