| [01:08.00] |
Evening minuetto in a castle by the sea |
| [01:15.50] |
A jewel more radiant than the moon |
| [01:18.66] |
Lowered her mask to me |
| [01:22.51] |
The sublimest creature the Gods, full of fire |
| [01:26.52] |
Would marvel at making their Queen |
| [01:30.57] |
Infusing the air with her fragrant desire |
| [01:34.50] |
And my heart reeled with grave poetry |
| [01:38.69] |
From grace, I fell in love with her |
| [01:46.28] |
Scent and feline lure |
| [01:49.12] |
And jade woodland eyes that ushered in the impurest |
| [01:53.66] |
Erotic, laden fantasies amid this warm Autumn night |
| [02:01.40] |
She lulled me away from the rich masquerade |
| [02:05.37] |
And together we clung in the bloodletting moonlight |
| [02:10.42] |
Pearled luna, what spell didst thou cast on me? |
| [02:16.88] |
Her icy kiss fervoured my neck |
| [02:20.28] |
Like whispering waves 'pon Acheron's beach |
| [02:24.69] |
In a whirl of sweet voices and statues |
| [02:27.63] |
That phantomed the dying trees |
| [02:32.80] |
This debauched seductress in black, took me |
| [02:42.89] |
|
| [02:51.16] |
In a pale azured dawn, like Ligeia reborn |
| [02:55.23] |
I tore free of my sleep-sepulchre |
| [02:58.91] |
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn |
| [03:03.70] |
Lamented the spectre of Her |
| [03:06.88] |
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete |
| [03:10.88] |
I hungered for past overtures |
| [03:14.73] |
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress |
| [03:18.79] |
Came much more than my soul could endure |
| [03:23.94] |
|
| [03:30.88] |
I, at once, endeavoured to see her again |
| [03:35.22] |
Stirring from midnight's inertia |
| [03:37.56] |
Knowing not even her name |
| [03:39.25] |
On a thin precipice over carnal abyss |
| [03:41.54] |
I danced like a blind acolyte |
| [03:43.67] |
Drunk on red wine, her dead lips on mine |
| [03:45.68] |
Suffused with the perfume of night |
| [03:51.40] |
|
| [03:51.80] |
For hours I scoured the surrounding grounds |
| [03:53.66] |
In vain that we might meet |
| [03:55.54] |
|
| [03:59.66] |
When storm clouds broke, ashened, fatigued |
| [04:01.54] |
I sought refuge in a cemetery |
| [04:03.83] |
Sleep, usher dreams |
| [04:05.26] |
Taint to nightmares from a sunless nether |
| [04:07.66] |
Mistress of the dark |
| [04:09.47] |
I now know what thou art |
| [04:11.47] |
Screams haunt my sleep |
| [04:13.70] |
Dragged from nightmares thou hast wed together |
| [04:15.66] |
Lamia and Lemures |
| [04:17.69] |
Spawned thee leche |
| [04:18.57] |
To snare my flesh |
| [04:21.75] |
Portrait of the dead countess |
| [04:24.90] |
|
| [04:39.86] |
Deep stained pain that I had dreamt |
| [04:43.71] |
Flaunted demise, life's punishment |
| [04:47.62] |
Leaving little strength to seal this wretched tomb |
| [04:55.90] |
But poised nectar within my stirs |
| [04:57.54] |
Up feverous desire and morbid purpose to search |
| [05:00.19] |
Through cobwebbed drapery to where she swoons |
| [05:02.85] |
Goddess of the graveyard, of the tempest and moon |
| [05:05.28] |
In flawless fatal beauty, her very visage compels |
| [05:07.70] |
Glimpses of a heaven where ghost companies fell |
| [05:10.10] |
To mourning the loss of god in blackest velvet |
| [05:12.53] |
Enrobed in their downfall like a swift silhouette |
| [05:15.45] |
Fleeting, enshadowed |
| [05:17.10] |
Thou art privy to my sin |
| [05:20.34] |
Secrets dead, wouldst thou inflict |
| [05:22.86] |
The cruel daylights upon my skin? |
| [05:25.55] |
Dost thou not want to worship me |
| [05:27.89] |
With crimson sacrifice |
| [05:30.78] |
So my cunt may twitch against thy kiss |
| [05:33.41] |
And weep with new-found life? |
| [05:35.84] |
|
| [05:45.27] |
Red roses for the Devil's whore |
| [05:57.55] |
|
| [06:00.00] |
Dark angels taste my tears |
| [06:02.85] |
And whisper haunting requiems |
| [06:06.20] |
Softly to mine ear |
| [06:08.77] |
Need-fires have lured abominations here |
| [06:16.88] |
Nocturnal pulse |
| [06:20.10] |
My veins spill forth their waters |
| [06:23.50] |
Rent by lips I cherish most |
| [06:33.38] |
|
| [06:38.94] |
Awash on her perfidious shores |
| [06:42.69] |
Where drowning umbra o'er the stars |
| [06:45.90] |
Ebon's graves where lovers whore |
| [06:48.98] |
Like seraphim and Nahemah |
| [06:52.79] |
|
| [06:55.22] |
Pluck out mine eyes, hasten, attest |
| [07:01.49] |
Blind reason against thee, Enchantress |
| [07:07.66] |
For I must know, art thou not death? |
| [07:14.12] |
My heart echoes bloodless and incensed ... |
| [07:24.15] |
|
| [07:47.86] |
Doth temptation prowl night in vulvic revelry |
| [07:50.46] |
Did not the Queen of Heaven come as Devil to me? |
| [07:52.65] |
On that fatal Hallow's Eve when we fled company |
| [07:55.90] |
As the music swept around us in the crisp, fated leaves |
| [07:57.84] |
Under horned Diana where her bloodline was sewn |
| [08:00.00] |
In a graveyard of Angels rent in cool marbled stone |
| [08:02.29] |
I am grieving the loss of life in sombre velvet |
| [08:04.85] |
Enrobed in Death's shadow like a swifter silhouette |
| [08:08.30] |
|
