Absinthe With Faust Lyrics

Absinthe With Faust lyrics

Pour the emerald wine

Into crystal glasses

We will touch the divine

Through kissed catharsis



Let us pitch to the seven-year itch

Of the ultra-decadent

To a tainted world and the painted girls

That our fantasies spent



Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes

Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams

A toast to those most sacrilegious of days

Where for every whim won

One soon repays



We touched the stars

That now laugh from afar

At we, the damned

The damned

The damned

The damned

Damned



We have spent our time

Drenched in opulent splendor

But when midnight chimes

Will gilded souls surrender?



Let us drink on the giddying brink

Of pools of excrement

All manner of shit for the glamor and glitz

Mephistopheles lent



I remember the night as if it were engraved

A bright marble bridge stretched across dark waves

To the shore from the moon and by her grace

Came that erudite stranger

That fucker



He was a predator, creditor cold

Our blood was shed on the yellowing scrolls

And all that glittered was not gold

But we wanted everything

And for it all lost our souls



Come my friend to fate, let's raise

Two finger shots at this our last soiree

For tomorrow I fear

Swoops all too deadly near

This precipitous weir to Hell's High Gate



We touched the stars

That now laugh from afar

At we, the damned

The damned

The damned

The damned

Damned



He was a preditor, creditor cold

Our blood was shed on the yellowing scrolls

And all that glittered was not gold

But we wanted everything

And for it all lost our souls

Our souls

And for it all lost our souls

Our souls
