No lyrics available

Her voice still calls to me

Like a distant dream

Buried ‘neath a

Thin veneer I scream

The decadence of “Love”

Took Her away

Her innocence was

Taken to the grave

Rid me of the fire

Burning deep within my soul

You scarred me with these wounds

And let your web of lies unfold

Give me back my passion

Your cold-blooded sacrifice

You raped Her of Her faith in life

And left Her strung to hang that night

Her jewelled eyes

Still glisten in the gloom

Moistened from Her

Begging mercy of you

When the pieces fell

Like shards of dripstone stalagmite

And your poisoned flock

Put to death my only light…

I renounce the love of Light

And the lies proclaimed

Your crusade is unjust

And “Love” is hate’s masquerade

I beg you, find me guilty

Of these occult “crimes”

And slay me in cold-blood

To be by Her side

Midnight chimes ring out again

Beckoning the twisted nightmares to descend

Upon me and deep into my mind

To prey upon stray rays of hope left dying inside...

My gothic heart cries to be set free

From darkness (my mistress), and her reverie

I yearn to feel pure rays upon my skin

To forget the brooding shadow brewing sin...

Somewhere I know you hold the key

The sacred prose, the words to set me free

Wolves cry unto the moon outside

Calling their brethren to take my life

Will you help bring about my demise

As they tear my flesh and feast on me tonight?

My gothic heart cries to be released

Before darkness reaches out her hand to me

Will she take me deep into the night

To forget the love, the torch that burnt so bright?

I've waited and craved for a moment like this

As I watch you appear before me through the swirling mist

Draped in a dark shroud which hides all but your eyes

And those lips, their pursed perfection surely still awaiting mine?

But beneath the pounding rhythm

Of my fractured stained-glass heart

My mind still defies the notion that

We shall no longer be apart

And so in your presence I seek a sign

That this is no trickery nor dream

Despite the doubts I have

I place my trust and faith in you

I mourned and I swore we'd be together once more

And now you glide back to my side emerging from beyond this mortal coil

You allow the drapery to fall cascading over your milky limbs

As it pools around your feet I feel you bare against my skin

Here in your arms I fall far beyond my wildest dreams

As your lips caress my skin and stir desires from within

And here I will stay with you until the glorious end of days

Where we shall not be bound by fate, I will remain

Here in your passionate embrace

My hands caress your form exploring every daring curve

Upon the fallen autumnal leaves we let our tongues unfurl

Entwined like nesting vipers hissing in fits of ecstasy

I feel your lips upon my neck, as if to bite and drink of me

Here in your arms I fall far beyond my wildest dreams

But cruel lies reclaim you at Dawn and the truth is revealed

That here I must stay, alone through the wretched end of days

Where I shall have no place with fate, I shall decay

Without you I will fade away...

The wind has blown so cold since her demise

Howling through winter skies

Hanging onto the thin threads left inside

He yearns to give her life

In the corners of his study (and his mind)

The answers he will find

Chasing dragons in excess he pines

For her...

He adores her dress and slowly drifts away

As a profound change and altered state he takes

Stalking in the night long shadows pave

For her safe passage to the prey

Unwitting "poor hoars" reeking of high pay

Who would miss them in any case?

In dark corners kept for sinful embrace

Each night his knife inscribes

His signature, a gothic font engraved

In them...

He discards the dress and dons a mask of pain

Shocked and in awe as his heart begins to race

Locked away he swears to wrong his rites

Each a blood drenched sacrifice

With a potion to bring them back to spite

And free him of the guilt knotting inside

In the corners of his study (and his mind)

The answers he will find

To unlock the secret formula of life

For them...

He abhors the dress with vehement disdain

Yet the Ripper's ruby kiss will rise to strike again!

At the toll of twelve he slips into attire

(Dressed to kill)

Fully risen and peaked, brimming desire

Veiled by cheap frills

This femme fatale prances deep into the night

Unaware of the crowd behind

Assembling on the horizon with vengeance on their minds

For him...

They cast his husk upon a stake then spark a flame

Engulfed in fire, ablaze, the Ripper's ruby kiss is tamed

I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a knocking, knocking at my door

And I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

Now you've got me crawling, sprawled on the floor

And I've never known a girl like you before

You've made me acknowledge the Devil in me

I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically

Hope that I'm talking allegorically

Know that I'm talking about the way I feel

And I've never known a girl like you before

Never, never, never, never

I've never met a girl like you before...

Spectral shadows shift

About the dying land below

Flowing fabrications from

Forty thousand thoughts ago

Creations crawling constantly

Across credence's court

Melding more with time

My murky mind meanders on

Blissfully beyond the border

Beckoned by bestial fiends

Watchful over a world where once

We would sate our needs

The dreams they seem to twist and weave

Together tethered thoughts

From lust to dusk, to harvest moons

And an Angel midst a storm

Reflections of the past

Illuminated by the stars

Distorted by the ripples

And ever destined for the dark

Reckless and enraged

The intricate path we paved

Disregarded like wilted flowers

Left to rot upon a grave

The long days and lonely nights

Waiting for seas to part

And lead the way through misty veils

To rest within Your arms

The longing and the throbbing pulse

Revives this sunken heart

And bleeds the red and impassioned blood

That keeps us tied as one

Passing time with those once pined

Proving even pure passion pales

When greeted with the graceful gait

Of Gorgeous, Love untamed

Heaving from Her Heaven’s scent

My hastening heartbeat

Yearns to sink twin puncture wound

Deep into Her throat

But plagued by these troubled dreams

The light begins to wane

The antithesis of my crisis

As these nightmares never end

Deeper do they delve

With their deviant Devil dance

With songs for Steel and Samhain feast

And tales of an epic romance

The faltering flame, it wanes before my eyes

As darkness finally conquers Lady Bastet's Holy shrine

A grey day overhead as her death is mourned

This betrayal of the Gods whom took away her refined form

Will raise the wrath of slaves taken in by her dark charms

Wresting 'twixt the fabrics which kept her men from taking to arms

A Holy war now beckons like a plague upon the Nile

With Deathlike crooked fingers pointing scythes unto the sky

Unto the skies...

Goddess of the flame no longer flickers fervent eyes

The Lady of the East no more with the Sun shall rise

Our perfumed protector, fallen to protect her kin

Shall see her legend carried on a War of Deicidal Sin

In her name and against her will, the powers shall be slain

"For glory!" and "for Egypt!" and to ease the pain

To ease the pain...

From the vast and deep seas she comes

A moan of ecstasy, elation!

Flooding us with her tidal wave

Causing worldwide devastation

Tsunamis dance over civilised lands

And cobblestone Victorian roads

Across the desolate desert plains

Tearing  through the woodland groves

Her wrath they say could bring the end of days

And catastrophic Armageddon

The path she paves with her abysmal rage

Strays ever left from our salvation

The scrolls they wrote of prophecies in prose

"Atlantis in extremis..." it reads

Of Earth in throes as the ocean flows

Amassing rivers into great seas

The Nile is shamed by it's minuscule frame

The fury of Mother Nature scorned

The Atlantic outsized by the global tidal rise

The Pacific made insipid by dawn

Her cult they say warned us of this day

And cataclysmic Armageddon

The past she laid to rest in ocean graves

As she bows below to thunderous ovation!

"Love" still lies deep beneath the seas

Clutching onto Biblical tales

His dying smile now ravaged and vile

Bloated 'neath the ocean he pales

Yet still holds hope for the faith he chose

A self-belief in self-deceit

That she will reveal her passionate zeal

Three words from her are all he needs

Beneath the waves he waits and grieves

As time passes by and all hope leaves...

Blood!

Blood rains from the skies

The day their messiah dies

And Demons hail once again

The Sovereign Evil begins

The scythe digs in as Death is unveiled

Digging deep as they're impaled

The crowds disperse as bodies rip

Sinews are torn as blood runs thick

Darkness cometh...

Darkness cometh...

...Darkness ensues!
