- - - DEAREST, DARKLY - - -


She guides my quill with a practiced hand
Penning satires of the recent damned
Inspiration drives the witch's hammer
Wormwood, angel's arcane grammar
Scorching my flesh with her lovecraft brand

The crimson ink by the candle light
Speak to the shadow fragments of last night
Breaking the fourth wall of Amontillado
Hang over pits, cruel vertigo
Spinning the dreams of another life

My muse, she whispers with a poisoned tongue
Forked like a venomous serpentine curse
My Gorgon lady lay where corpses hung
Laments, so sweet to her, in rhythmic verse

Betwixt silken sheets
In throes of ravaged meat
Share a phantom kiss
In our chrysalis
Life lingers partly
My love
My dearest, darkly

Sun bleached skulls stare from hidden alcoves
That were recently released from gallows
Black roses remind me of my punishment
Feed the liches, their nourishment
As ages of loved one die in droves

My muse, she whispers with a poisoned tongue
Forked like a venomous serpentine curse
My Gorgon lady lay where corpses hung
Laments, so sweet to her, in rhythmic verse

Betwixt silken sheets
In throes of ravaged meat
Share a phantom kiss
In our chrysalis
Life lingers partly
My love
My dearest, darkly

Moonlit vistas
So close yet so far away
Her starlit silhouette
Twists and turns
With the serpent's grace

I cannot placate the demon hand
Penning satires for the dearly damned
Breaking the fourth wall of Amontillado
Hang over pits, cruel vertigo
Floating to the beach of Cthulhu sands

My muse, she whispers with a poisoned tongue
Forked like a venomous serpentine curse
My Gorgon lady lay where corpses hung
Laments, so sweet to her, in rhythmic verse

Betwixt silken sheets
In throes of ravaged meat
Share a phantom kiss
In our chrysalis
Life lingers partly
My love
My dearest, darkly

Moonlit vistas
So close yet so far away
Her raven silhouette
Igniting the lust
In every man's heart
