Reigning at the feast of Phantasia | |
Heightened pleasures were endeavoured to bow | |
Before My coronation and vocal aspirations | |
To rule this fool creation fallen 'neath Me now | |
I knew deep eyes | |
Of a distant Christ | |
Were scarred from afar under starry lustre | |
Sighting my recitals on the rites of vice | |
Perverting Virtue | |
Enslaving grace | |
Behind the glittering mask of pride | |
Saving face finding thorns to pierce | |
His side | |
Desire, the fire | |
Spread hell throughout my soul | |
And higher the wire | |
The more I sought control | |
Straining from the leash in exultation | |
Head to the wind to breathe with ravenous lungs | |
The global scent of fornication | |
A writhe of many vipers deciphering tongues | |
I whispered schemes to dreamers then | |
To pursue an Eden | |
That screamed of me supreme again | |
As my world bloomed | |
So too the moon | |
Through Adam to Seth, Enos, Cainan | |
Mahalaleel and Jared blew | |
Perverting virtue | |
Enslaving grace | |
Behind the slippery guise of lies | |
Saving face making waves to drown their faith | |
Messiahs, pariahs | |
Aeons reversed the two | |
Thus higher, their sprites | |
The more cursed grew their roots | |
And suffering¦ | |
I swept cruel seas | |
On the galley of the shadow of death | |
A fist in the cunt of the spread horizon | |
A kiss for the sun risen red once dined on | |
The coast of Menses | |
Discharged from celestial wombs | |
A first degree murder of ravens | |
Followed in fugue through the crack of doom | |
The Goat of Mendes | |
I set regime | |
In the galley of the shadow of death | |
Angels in raiments | |
As pure as coal | |
Taking their payments | |
In tortured mortal souls | |
A bold direction | |
The abyss edge | |
But on cold reflection | |
One they warmed to nonetheless | |
As they preyed the paths of the righteous | |
Through the myth of thistled orchard floors | |
Bearing gifts of plenitude, for | |
The apples of the Lord were rotten to the core | |
Temptation, My ambassador | |
Attila, Herod, Pharisees and Nero | |
All begged of Me for more | |
Down dark steps of history | |
I waged a war with a Heaven | |
I could not see¦ | |
Beyond My wildest fantasies | |
Throwing sixes over deadly sin | |
I traded those who played to win | |
Skin for precious kin¦ | |
And that that wormed within | |
Staining the reams of revelation | |
Etching ever-afters in accursed verse | |
The limpid rags of resurrection | |
From papal parapets were to dirt dispersed | |
Desire, the flyers | |
Spread Hell throughout their souls | |
And higher the fire | |
The more I held control |
Reigning at the feast of Phantasia | |
Heightened pleasures were endeavoured to bow | |
Before My coronation and vocal aspirations | |
To rule this fool creation fallen ' neath Me now | |
I knew deep eyes | |
Of a distant Christ | |
Were scarred from afar under starry lustre | |
Sighting my recitals on the rites of vice | |
Perverting Virtue | |
Enslaving grace | |
