lyrics

Maidens at court I would have thought
Seeks suitors of sorts
Not that tradition displeased me
Tainted with awe, I would abhor
Vanessa to the fore
So she should often appease me

Arouse the deepest darkness
Obsidian hunger harkens
Deflowered through the vastness
Inside her seeping garden
Though wert so innocent
It frightened me

Drown in her eyes, I might espy
Diamond tears she cried
Not that those sentiments pleased me
Crowned Queen of night, I might descry
Desire rear in wine
So she would often seize me

Espouse the secret past tense
As hideous wonders mask it
Deflowered in the casket
Entice her meek catharsis
Though were the quintessence
Of serenity

A quiscient clandestine
Were worlds of hers
So marred by mine

Caught by spells that beguiled
Her beauty shined on her mesmorised
I sought to make her my bride
But she was betrothed
To one loathed dog above

I might have known the divine
Betrayal to chance to me
As prone to such tales
Wherein treason prevails

Left in the dark, my broken heart
Manifest its parts
A rift of symmetry and balance
Embittered past the shards of glass
And of her witchcraft
A solemn retrospective malice

Imbibe the westward whisper
A shallow portent, withered
To vague to reason, whither
Too soon ahead
A sickened plot to wreak my vengeance

Destined to last outspoken stars
Banished to scars
'Twixt the misery and sadness
Explicit marks were half as charred
And oft would discharge
A sodden sentimental madness

Inscribe the tethered scripture
All hallow's eve deliver
A plagued season draws hither
Bring out your dead!
A wicked lot to stretch my sentiments

A field of dreams covered in locusts
So seemed unclean and thus were deemed atrocious

The moon she gleams
Her boon of dreams at my dismay
In truth she gleans my swoon
That teems the haunting disarray
When thunders cracked
'Midst storm clouds, black
As clarion numbers play
And hundreds racked like Rome ransacked
As carrion on the ley
