Darkness rises
- - - HER OPERATIC BLASPHEMY - - -
She comes alive in trails of onyx ink
Her lovely voice resounds in poetry
Composed in throes of the dark arts
In the house of jealous creators
Her beauty begets blasphemy
She lays bare all of my forsaken sins
Images flashing by in lantern light
Concludes a scarlet masterpiece
Guarded by legions of Praetors
Withered by the flesh of the night
She moves inside me
Like consecrated shadow
Devouring all of me
I can feel her stirring below
I'm bound by this spiritual invasion
She is the riddle of the paradigm
An architect of damnation
In the wild company of satyrs
Constructing her own paradise
She moves inside me
Like consecrated shadow
Devouring all of me
I can feel her stirring below
In my lacerations
Signs of desperation
Writhe with worms beneath
Stitches decomposing
Carrion dive imposing
Bated breath and skull themed wreaths
Her face is draped
By a velvet cowl
She sings a song
Of operatic phantasms
And lycan howls
Her beauty portrayed on black tapestries
In galleries dedicated to death
Incarnate in a sea of tears
Force fed the blood of useless savoirs
I, willingly, give my last breath
She moves inside me
Like consecrated shadow
Devouring all of me
I can feel her stirring below
In my lacerations
Signs of desperation
Writhe with worms beneath
Stitches decomposing
Carrion dive imposing
Bated breath and skull themed wreaths
The flesh ripples
With something under
It sings a song
Of operatic phantasms
And lycan howls

AEVO IN AETERNO NOCTURNUS
Casting a shadow on the nightmare facade
There is no devil soul blacker than my own
Your promise of tomorrow leaves me appalled
The lack of all color is the brightest shone
Rose in the night
Raven flight
The murder beneath the moon
And grimmest light
Cataclysmic doom
I see your ghast from the past
My skeletons come out to haunt me still
Alabastrine, gothic nails in for the kill
So, tear me to pieces
And feed me to demons
Betrayal in Gethsemane
At last when love becomes barbarous
Aevo in aeterno nocturnus
Tears on the grave
Which I stave
The strands of the widow’s web
A guilty knave
That once took your breath
Red wine, seductively, pours down your cleavage
To wash away innocence with the sins of flesh
As you push me away, leave me in grievance
Bathe you in candle light from whence we had threshed
I spy your ghast from the past
I am ready to die for one last kiss
If you’ll let me suffer in damnation bliss
So, love me in peril
And I’ll be your devil
Denouncement in Gethsemane
At last when love becomes torturous
Aevo in aeterno nocturnus
As two hearts felt the sting of poisonous thorns
Lay down to a restless sleep in thunderous storms
Reach for your ghast from the past
My skeletons come out to haunt me still
Alabastrine, gothic nails in for the kill
So, tear me to pieces
And feed me to demons
Betrayal in Gethsemane
I am ready to die for one last kiss
If you’ll let me suffer in damnation bliss
So, love me in peril
And I’ll be your devil
Denouncement in Gethsemane
At last when love becomes barbarous
Aevo in aeterno nocturnus
At last when love becomes torturous
Aevo in aeterno nocturnus
I will see you once more
At the cemetery gates
We thrive as one
Eternally nocturnal
