The Lillith Configuration

Horizons wither under her gaze  
Setting lonely hearts ablaze  
Only for men to feel heartbroken  
During nightly throes of torment  
In dreams she weaves until moans are spent  
Churning in burning pentagrams  
But all those that look upon her be damned  
To a lifeless leech wailing their laments
 
   
She comes to them  
In nightmare passing  
A beauty that balms  
With caress and psalms  
Offering forbidden fruits  
And tainted pleasures  
All for one little price  
It’s your soul she treasures  
   
Joys of the box  
Riddled but open  
The brushes they paint  
When the beauty taints  
What’s the price of damnation  
How the princess comes  
In bondage and razors  
Slave to Leviathan  
   
Crucified  
At the rusted gates  
Of Midian’s cries  
Lamenting  
Wishing for death now  
To take me again  
   
Purified  
Baptized in fire  
Without Jesus lies  
Undisturbed  
Without a return  
Such a lost profit  
   
“What splendors can you show me  
That I have not invented myself  
The joys of the flesh renowned in blood  
Leave libertines begging in hell  
The Lament Configuration  
And staged crucifixions    
Are the only joys left for me  
In this existence I call a life.”
 
   
Damnified  
By the holy light  
As the raven flies  
Modified  
By the whips and chains  
On piles of the slain  
   
Patricide  
Of the holy host  
Defying the lies  
Sacrifice  
Your own first born child  
To the mouth of hell  
   
Sweets in the dark  
When shadows close in  
Lovers left lonely  
With her are joining  
The wicked Aphrodite  
Coming with disdain  
In the name of Satan  
As the dead bodies sway  
   
Children learn her name  
Nightly woven tales  
Preach of her horrors  
And painful splendors  
She is the Lillith mistress  
Flutters my dead heart  
There are no lords above  
That can tear us apart  
   
“Hush, hush,  
My little sweets  
Mother is here  
To keep harm at bay  
For I hold you  
In tight embrace  
For only me.”
