專輯:蛇蠍魔女 (Nymphetamine)
歌曲:Swansong For A Raven (Album Version)
Forgive the day's
Last serenades
Her skies they bruise
like Nordic women
Deep crimson stains
That Death would claim
His robes of office swim in
As would I
For his dark eye
Has fixed a basilisk
a scythe
On charred remains
With shared disdain
For those I chose to mortify
Their cries have paralysed
And the smoke has
choked these vistas
But still I lie
though tears have died
On the grave of my Clarissa
A verse for her
whispered to the earth
A lover's curse is a
see through coffin
Praises her curves
so oft concurred
Though she was
No Snow White on
the night she died
Her shadower's boon when
the moon glazed over
Lipped with blood
and secrets pried
For on and in they
spread her wide
That seraph bride
The Devil's pride
Shalt soon avenge
with swift reprise
But they would writhe
For my dark eye
Bewitched was fixed
like Mordecai's
On Esther's reign
And in this vein
I saw their lust still
stain her thighs
Their cries have paralysed
And the smoke has
choked these vistas
But still I lie
though tears have died
On the grave of
my Clarissa
Beneath these trees where
the mist enwreathes
Her spirit flees
seeing chains of torches
A fleeting kiss stirring
leaves of poetry
I was no dark knight
breaking men like ice
I was like a lycanthrope
until the moon glazed over
Lipped with blood
and last goodbyes
Now I dream
Enwrapt in pure clouds of
the sweetest oblivion
Where beauty streams
Freed from the teeth of
those beasts that had come
To tear out her spells
In red lettered cells
Wherein even the
crown Prince of Hell
Come out of his
arrogant shell
Would falter to better
But her face soon dispels
And as black feathers fell
From heaven's smoke
So I woke to insanity
Her exquisite corpse
Found fit for their sport
Of course
Would burn on the
morrow with me
And there on this night
Strung up in my sight
Naked she sways
Displayed for their
vulgar delight
I scream through my
bars at the stars
That for these crimes
of mine solace me
I will fear not the flames
That to passion are tame
Not nearly the
same searing pain
I pray
As held sway
upon losing her
Nor the mettle of roars
That will settle like
ashes and scores
As with our ghosts
in the fog
When we both turn no more
