Death In Desires Masqurade Lyrics

Death came to me as Maiden

Death came to me as Beast



Venus
smiled at us that eerie Autumn Night

Candlelight Banquet in Victorian
Halls enflamed my Love for Her

Even Poet's passionate Verses were unable
to evoke

a true Description of such tremendous Fierceness

Though
appearing as sweet Woman

such a Beauty could not be human

"Art Thou
my Destiny?"

Whilst we embraced Moonlight touched Thy soft Lips

Such
pale Skin, as white as purest Snow

Wind curled Thy ebony Hair like Vipers
on Medusa's Head

Less the Horror than the Grace turned me almost into
Stone

Infected with such idolatrous Shape my deepest Dreams came true

These red magic Eyes, like bleeding Flowers

made me Slave to Her

Erotic Kisses under whispering Trees

were my Foretaste of Eden

Melancholia's Fire burnt in highest Flames

when She told me to
leave

"Will Thou be mine again, most sinful of all Demons?"



"Encrimsoned Fullmoon is the Sign

when my Spirit shall cover Thine

At the eldest Oak of the Midnight Forest

I'll teach Thee Secrets
buried in Stone

and by a Force to Man unknown

I shall never be
alone!"



With blind Thirst for that doomy Hour

I wandered
through my Days like (in) Trances

Tears of Blood stole from Moon's Eyes
and were Omen to me

Bats haunted deep nightly Woods

whilst we
kissed again in fierce Nocturnal Embrace

Love-drunken Slumber led me away
from Mortal's sighing World



"Awake now to face my real
Countenance!"



Thus to me spake Azrael in the Robe of godlike
Beauty



"Hades sent His loveliest Angel

to grant Thee
Expiration divine!"



Death came in Desire's Masquerade
