|
Burning flesh, |
|
Dripping sweat, |
|
Using them all, |
|
like the paralyzing snake, |
|
Charmed and enchanted by the babylon whore. |
|
mannequin |
|
Damnation And A Day |
|
Cradle Of Filth |
|
Led to other worlds |
|
By the girls she curled within |
|
I took their skins to see Her |
|
Be my... |
|
Be my mannequin |
|
I cannot remember |
|
How it was that we first met |
|
Curve of moon and haunted shore |
|
The stars were not those Heaven sent |
|
Did we come together |
|
At masked palatial Balls |
|
In silks and flesh and leather |
|
Or did we come at all? |
|
I dreamt a midnight castle |
|
The eerie song of wolves |
|
And eyes that danced with fire |
|
As they have forever more |
|
Our rites of sin |
|
Have long fathered a hymn |
|
To burden Him |
|
Whom by slip of after whim |
|
At genesis,Dressed Her like the wind |
|
In Autumn gowns,That pinned Her down |
|
To be my... |
|
Be my mannequin |
|
Always poised on winter |
|
But never would She break |
|
My lovecraft and black witch heart |
|
That pounded in Her wake |
|
We kissed on distant balconies |
|
A law unto Her own |
|
Thirteenth dark commandment |
|
Of figures pressed to stone |
|
Turning cream with fantasies |
|
That God alone would know |
|
We graced vomitorium |
|
With the sweet excess of Rome |
|
Flagrant in the past |
|
Our names were deeply carved |
|
On the tree of life in long dead languages |
|
Led to other worlds |
|
By the girls she curled within |
|
I took their skins to see Her |
|
Be my... |
|
Be my mannequin |
|
I tongued the nuns at Louviers |
|
But not one word possessed |
|
Her divine right, an archetype |
|
For mortal Goddesses... |
|
Be my... |
|
Be my mannequin |
