- - - THE SCREAMING HALLS - - -


In the hypnotic arcades of winter's first snowfall
Comes the sweet lullabies of the siren's call
Draped in crimson velvet and glazed with frost
She reeks of Faust's deal with the devil

She crawls to me
Gothic and erotic
From her casket
Toxic and neurotic
She lights me on fire
With forsaken desire

Watch me burn

Lamentations of a too dead heart
Speaks, sadly, of two worlds apart
Look in my eyes and break the fourth wall
Light the lantern in the screaming halls

At the thirteenth hour, I long to kiss the spectre
Cruel nightshade and graveyard mists surrounding her
A labored moan lingers upon her breath
The taste of death on those ruby lips

She comes for me
Gothic and erotic
From her casket
Toxic and necrotic
She lights me on fire
With forsaken desire

Watch me burn

Lamentations of a too dead heart
Speaks, sadly, of two worlds apart
Look in my eyes and break the fourth wall
Light the lantern in the screaming halls

She visits with necrophilic splendors
Quaking the tomb with necromantic tremors
Her blackened fingernails lacerate my flesh
Ripping me open with her deathly caress
A scarlet tribute, phantasmorgasmic bliss
Sucking me dry with her vampiric lips

Bleed me
Suck me
Love me
Drain me

The sacraments of a long dead faith
Honors, sadly, two lost entwined wraiths
Brand my skin, now, with the mark of Faust
Leave me dying at the foot of her cross

Lamentations of a too dead heart
Speaks, sadly, of two worlds apart
Look in my eyes and break the fourth wall
Light the lantern in the screaming halls

She crawls to me
Gothic and erotic
From her casket
Toxic and necrotic
She lights me on fire
With forsaken desire

Watch me burn
