[00:01.03]Sometimes I beheaded them, with daggers, with poignards, with knives
[00:05.45]Sometimes I suspended them in my room from a pole, or by a hook and cords and strangled them
[00:12.59]And when they were languishing, I committed with them the evils of the flesh
[00:41.72]The evening air laps thick about
[00:43.99]The stagnant moat that Tiffuages claims
[00:47.43]As dusk now slips away
[00:51.10]Where taught to run, the rotten tongue
[00:53.47]Of a hotter Götterdämerung
[00:56.52]Has started licking like a flame
[01:06.05]Whispers in the dismal mist
[01:08.05]Are full of crystal promises
[01:15.16]Black rites begun in earnest
[01:17.82]Ignite Hell's hungry furnace
[01:39.63]Behold the bold inauguration of the dark side
[01:44.49]Demonic passions climbing
[01:46.96]Ill-fated stars aligning
[01:49.31]Tonight these sights are guaranteed to feed the master
[01:53.84]The tide of blood is rising
[01:56.35]His gifts will be providing
[01:59.79]Unmasked, the phantom lord de Rais
[02:03.38]Haunts the furthest tower
[02:05.52]Wherein death has sucked the hour
[02:09.08]There, throttled gasps are tantamount to foreplay
[02:12.95]And drooling razors next to come
[02:15.26]Unspool red secrets from the young
[02:27.03]The moon grinned full, the games were chaste
[02:29.42]When the children first arrived
[02:31.77]Now midnight shadows crawl apace
[02:34.81]To darken council with their lives
[02:56.10]Flesh and ecstasy as sport
[02:58.60]Are immortal vices of the highest order
[03:01.85]Wherein devilry holds sway
[03:05.59]Behold blind walls where these cockatrice squalled
[03:08.20]Their songs of Necronomicon
[03:11.31]Spoke out of Gilles de Rais
[03:15.64]Behold the bold inauguration of the dark side
[03:20.32]Demonic passions climbing
[03:22.81]Ill-fated stars aligning
[03:25.21]Tonight these sights are guaranteed to feed the master
[03:29.76]The tide of blood is rising
[03:32.14]His gifts will be providing
[03:35.71]Unmasked, the phantom lord de Rais
[03:39.28]Haunts the furthest tower
[03:41.38]Wherein death has sucked the hour
[03:44.92]There, throttled gasps are tantamount to foreplay
[03:48.77]And drooling razors next to come
[03:50.81]Unspool red secrets from the young
[04:03.11]Each murdered son, each frozen rose
[04:05.33]Handpicked, was gently fed
[04:07.84]To the sumptuous one in black and those
[04:10.84]Whose lives where thrown in with the dead
[04:22.94]The candles lit, the stage was set
[04:27.03]As it was in sainted days
[04:32.10]When censers swung and banners hung
[04:36.46]On the Siege of Orleans on the painted Seine
[04:50.86]Now the castle floats in the drifting fog
[04:54.04]Torn from it's moorings
[04:56.15]Like a shipwreck dredged from Hell
[05:00.43]As innocents entreat a shifting God
[05:03.47]Their voices soaring
[05:06.01]On a silver tide to heaven
[05:08.65]On a knife edge as they fell
[05:19.67]The blade would plunge in virulent arcs
[05:22.29]Such wounds would stretch away
[05:24.76]By the fireside, warmed to creative sparks
[05:27.64]Of the monster Gilles de Rais
[05:33.51]Gilded Gilles de Rais
[05:39.08]Comets vomited
[05:41.56]The restless bells of crime
[05:44.25]Peeled black skin from broken bones
[05:46.77]Of angels cut from the nicks of time
[05:58.57]Festering faces with painted eyes
[06:00.85]The prettiest kept to be thrust inside
[06:03.32]Gaping necromantic from the mantle-side
[06:05.64]Caked in kissed goodbyes
[06:11.84]Caked in kissed goodbyes
[06:17.52]Days faded in decay
[06:19.78]The stench of perfume lied
[06:22.04]No horror in the glades of man
[06:25.02]Was left for Barron to provide
[06:55.72]So unique was the beat of his poisoned heart
[06:58.15]And it's sordid, morbid crack
[07:00.31]No further atrocity could possibly surpass
[07:02.74]Unrewarded, bored, he turned his burning back
[07:34.89]The evening air laps thick about
[07:37.40]The moat that Tiffuages claims
[07:40.06]As dusk now slips away
[07:43.88]Where taught to run, the rotten tongue
[07:46.23]Of a hotter Götterdämerung
[07:49.39]Has started licking like a flame
