Bright Eyes A Poetic Tale Of Unfortunate Seduction Lyrics

A Poetic Tale Of Unfortunate Seduction Lyrics

The language in the dimmer rooms

Seems to represent the light source
well



How soft they speak and seem to be at peace

With the
movement of the music and the madness

That is pulling me into this



And the shades of the lamps are woven red

The light, it stains
and consecrates



Anointing all forgotten forms

That swirl and
smoke and haunt this place

The girls in gowns all nurse the dark



Pulling it near to their swelling breasts

And watch as it seeps
to their hearts

And beats within their virgin chests



And
here I know seduction breeds

From wanton hearts that would seduce

And grows and spreads its vine and leaves

Embracing those who might
have moved



But now remain to drink the night

From vials
black and thick with steam

Such intoxicating delights

That leave
you drunk inside this dream

And you watch them take the light from
you



And you find yourself

On a velvet couch

Tasting
the skin of a foreign girl



Her eyes are black

And wet like
oil

And she ties your hands with a string of pearls



And you
tremble like a frightened bird

As she closes in and captures you

To
place you in the silver cage



Deep within her poisoned womb

And once you're safe inside

She might let you out to fly

In the
circles around the room



But it's always night

And there is
no moon

And you wonder if you are alive



And you're not sure
if you want to be

But you drank her sweat like it was wine

And you
lay with her on a bed of blue

And it's awful sweet

Like the fruit
she cuts and feeds to you
