|
Here forms a knotted sorrow |
|
The vivid grasp of fading faces |
|
Storm clouds plot to follow... |
|
I wander despondent, a curse on the grave |
|
Her hair in my locket, a lock of nightshade |
|
And there in my pocket, I nurse the charade |
|
Her ring is awaiting her back |
|
I watch her from shadows, pariah by day |
|
I sleep in dark belfries and cellars away |
|
From the ungiving living, their neurotic plague |
|
Has turned her, as I to the black |
|
"Faster beats the drum of dark arcanum" |
|
Marie |
|
I turned a deaf ear to heaven |
|
When the evil eye accompanied me |
|
You'll see |
|
I am no further needed in the mirror |
|
By my pallid reflection |
|
I thrust so perversely, the worst is this crave |
|
For sweet scarlet blood from a harlot parade |
|
Of dutiful victims I beautifully take |
|
With delicious malicious intent |
|
A gift from a goddess who toyed with her game |
|
The price of my night's infidelity paid |
|
At the altar of her never faltering blade |
|
Of infernal nocturnal descent |
|
"Faster beats the heart of dark arcanum" |
|
So I walk the moonlit quarters |
|
Like a driven beast of prey |
|
A catalyst for madness, slaughter |
|
Given the leash to play |
|
I'm detritus to my chosen |
|
A ghost for all her days |
|
Thus is Cocytus frozen |
|
From those loved and left betrayed |
|
Dream-dappled streams of sunshine |
|
Dread fogs shall dissipate |
|
As red skies descend on graveyard floors |
|
Where the dead exhilarate |
|
"My heart is gone |
|
Taken by a nightmare bourgeois creature |
|
Now you belong |
|
To your sick womenagerie..." |
|
N, n, no, no |
|
I'm not the reason for this bleeding |
|
N, n, no, no |
|
My past is fast leaving me |
|
Aghast in purgatory |
|
Marie |
|
I turned a deaf ear to heaven |
|
When the evil eye accompanied me |
|
You'll see |
|
I am no longer greeted in the mirror |
|
By my pallid reflection |
|
So I stalk the moonlit quarters |
|
Like a driven beast of prey |
|
A catalyst for madness, slaughter |
|
Given the season |
|
I taste the true nature |
|
Of this secret caste |
|
This devil undone |
|
Soars free at last... |
