Her voice still calls to me like a distant dream
Buried neath a thin veneer I scream
The decadence of "Love" took her away
Her innocence was taken to the grave
Rid me of the fire burning deep within my soul
You scarred me with these wounds
And let your web of lies unfold
Give me back my passion, your cold blooded sacrifice
You raped her of her faith in life
And left her strung to hang that night
Her jewelled eyes still glisten in the gloom
Still moistened from her begging mercy of you
When the pieces fell like shards of dripstone stalagmite
And your poisoned flock put to death my only light...
I renounce the love of light and the lies proclaimed
Your crusade is unjust and love is hates masquerade
I beg you find me guilty of these occult crimes
And slay me in cold blood to be by her side

Her Portrait Eyes

In the darkest corner at the deathly side of night
Still haunted by his past the count deplored without respite
Lit by candelabra sifting through tomes of the dead
He recited scripts iniquitous in wicked tongues and hex
Under light of the moon there grew a disquieting mood
As mammatus clouds loomed clad in the darkest of hues
It seemed the storm had arrived bringing the bleak skies to life
Thunderous bellows to provide a pulsing theme for the night
Dressed in naught but his shame the count drew blood from a slave
Bled her upon an altar as bait, a gift for the devils to claim
Should they arise from the depths of whichever hell they transgress
A seeping mist soon grew dense and cast the room in darkness
From the shadow grew a contorted figure of deathly pall
Risen from beyond to hear the counts relentless call
To offer him relief from the grief that had amassed within
To see her face one final time and quench his thirst again
FAUST
“Come to me ghoul, break the stranglehold
The grip of death upon her fragile soul”
Mephisto glared a thousand daggers at this impending Faust
But spoke in almost sombre tones when addressing the dishevelled Count…
MEPHISTO
“We shall strike a deal and on my terms shall you be damned
But for this price I will grant you any wish that you demand”
FAUST
“Grant me a glimpse upon my bride whom wrongly died for sins
Her portrait eyes painted black as coal by those heartless charlatans”
Mephisto’s eyes flickered fires, burning sulphur filled the air
The Devil’s presence fading as his Faust wished in despair:
FAUST
“Bring her back to me and take what I behold
It matters not to me, let your price for her be known
What you wish is yours, for her I’d sell my soul”
And so the pact was sealed and poured away the shades of life
For the Count who fell to darkness now a Devil’s concubine…

A Dark Desire

I've waited and craved for a moment like this
As I watch you appear before me through the swirling mist
Draped in a dark shroud which hides all but your eyes
And those lips, their pursed perfection surely still awaiting mine?
But beneath the pounding rhythm
Of my fractured stained-glass heart
My mind still defies the notion that
We shall no longer be apart
And so in your presence I seek a sign
That this is no trickery nor dream
Despite the doubts I have
I place my trust and faith in you
I mourned and I swore we'd be together once more
And now you glide back to my side, emerging from beyond this mortal coil
You allow the drapery to fall cascading over your milky limbs
As it pools around your feet I feel you bare against my skin
Here in your arms I fall far beyond my wildest dreams
As your lips caress my skin and stir desires from within
And here I will stay with you until the glorious end of days
Where we shall not be bound by fate, I will remain
Here in your passionate embrace
My hands caress your form exploring every daring curve
Upon the fallen autumnal leaves we let our tongues unfurl
Entwined like nesting vipers hissing in fits of ecstasy
I feel your lips upon my neck, as if to bite and drink of me
Here in your arms I fall far beyond my wildest dreams
But cruel lies reclaim you at Dawn and the truth is revealed
That here I must stay, alone through the wretched end of days
Where I shall have no place with fate, I will decay
Without you I will fade...
...away

Nostalgia And The Cursed

The toll of midnight strikes
As passion taunts me in my sleep
Her legs so pale and slender rend me
Arisen and primed to feed
Under the moonlit clear night skies
I find her awaiting me
Her satin, lace and leather, reveal
A heaven and its Seraphic lead
Above the world we writhe
Our limbs performing many scenes
Of lust and lore that many thought
To be acts of filth, debauched
A bloodlust fills my eyes
The scarlet lenses fully formed
I lay my kiss upon the pulsing throat
With lips and fangs and more...
Over many nights I sate my thirst and avenge the crimes
The kin of those heartless hunters in my sight
With a taste for sweet revenge I play the hand of fate
Swindling the odds through time to beat her cruel game
In trancelike state with a devil tonight they dine
Beneath my smile burns a malice cold as ice
Without compassion I take my fill of their precious wine
And leave them deflowered in my arms and drained of life...

Reflections Of The Past
05:27

Spectral shadows shift about the dying land below
Flowing fabrications from forty thousand thoughts ago
Creations crawling constantly across Credence’s court
Melding more with time my murky mind meanders on
Blissfully beyond the border beckoned by bestial fiends
Watchful over a world where once we would sate our needs
The dreams they seem to twist and weave, together tethered thoughts
From lust to dusk, to harvest moons, and an Angel midst a storm…
Reflections of the past, illuminated by the stars
Distorted by the ripples and ever destined for the dark
Reckless and enraged, the intricate path we paved
Disregarded like wilting flowers left to rot upon a grave
The long days and lonely nights waiting for seas to part
And lead the way through misty veils to rest within your arms
The longing and the throbbing pulse revives this sunken heart
And bleeds the red and impassioned blood that keeps us tied as one…
Passing time with those once pined, proving even pure passion pales
When greeted with the graceful gait of Gorgeous, love untamed
Heaving from her Heavens scent, my hastening heartbeat
Yearns to yield twin puncture wound deep into her throat
But plagued by these troubled dreams, the light begins to wane
The antithesis of my crisis as these nightmares never end
Deeper do they delve with their deviant devil dance
With songs for Steel, and Samhain feast, and tales of epic romance...
