Beauty Slept In Sodom



Various Artists - Beauty Slept In Sodom - Текст песни

Death, spirit me away 
 My anguished soul doth strain 
 On taut and twisted reins 
 Yet, insatiate I still remain 
 Like a proud, unfalled star 
 That dares thee from afar 
 To calm my thund'rous heart 
 Else, rend it's knots apart 
 So I may never sing

 Of jewelled skies o'er my strings 
 And love, a wanton thing 
 Can plunge on burnt, black wings 
 To hang amid the thorns 
 In scarlet, like velvet worn 
 About the clouded moon 
 Who wanes in solitude....

 I am alone 
 Thirsting for the dark 
 That lurks beneath marbled stone 
 What black witchcraft 
 Shalt prise thee from thy dreams 
 And what perverse world-strategy 
 Will wend it's way with thee from sleep?

 "Rouse my disease 
 And with cadent naked dance I shalt teach 
 Thee wisdom of darkness 
 From earth and red sea

 Lightbearing Samael 
 Coalesce with me...."

 Twilight 
 Through pagan city gates 
 Bred shadows play like twining snake 
 By candlelight 
 Thanateros rites 
 Death seduced and chaos wakes....

 Obsession grips, blindragon fever 
 In throes of scythed orgasm, Eros dies 
 And Saturn rapes faith's lovelorn Diva 
 Upon a cyprean altar, stripped bare for sacrifice 
 Virtue births a demon 
 Pandora's box, unhinged, sets loose the night 
 Winged lilith born for want of Eden 
 Fanning plumes of harlotry 
 Like pearls before the desert swine

 The skies, they darken 
 And the oceans part

 Storm forth indignant Kraken 
 Reborn Venus as thou art 
 Feasting at my banquet 
 Of Saturnalia 
 I call thee having wrestled 
 The tides from lonely Diana

 "For thee Endymion 
 I forsake the cerements of this star-flung tomb" 

 Be-with-us come 
 Unveil the ancient flame 
 Throw the cats our enemies 
 Desire's menstrual strain 
 Eastern Devil eyes 
 A cruel erotic plague 
 The Shekhina is in exile 
 And the Israelites enslaved to shame

 Midnight 
 Jerusalem 
 A tenebrous phantasy 
 Revelates to men 
 Their celestial walls crumble 
 When walks the Xul 
 Born to the scarlet whore in Babylon

 The centuries of wait have all but gone 
 Behold dark beauty stirs to conquer on and on

 Now worship Everything
