- - - PHANTOMS OF SCARLET DAMASK - - -
Lo, this feeble heart
That once burned with passion
Now torn from the sight of God
Beats with infernal wisdom
A phantom of scarlet damask
Faith, she beckoned me
Like a rose in the storm
‘twixt crumbled tombs we lay intertwined
Two cold wraiths when fate
Erased a chance to embrace
The ravages of cruel and bitter time
But lightning strikes
Jealous lover denied
Vividly, dementedly
Cast the light from celestial seats
When tragedy come without
Sympathy
The hour glass stops
When Pandora’s box
Unleash the demons
With laments of vox
And when the bestial devil comes
To grace the day with feeble sun
Burdened with love songs of the dead
Cast back to Hell where angels fled
Gallows welcome me
Just like a long lost son
Blood drenched misery with neon signs
Black magick, tragic
Graphic within the havoc
Artwork staining vestiges with red wine
Hallowed be thy grave
When the stars fail to shine
I wish upon her fallen grace
Bellow to the doom divine
A phantom of scarlet damask
When the storms clouds cross
With Pandora’s box
Caress the fallen
Angels lost with Faust
And thunder booms
Jealous lover removed
Vividly, dementedly
Cast the light from celestial seats
When tragedy come without
Sympathy
And when the bestial devil comes
To grace the day with feeble sun
Burdened with love songs of the dead
Cast back to Hell where angels fled
Severed from diminished bloodlines
Once thought so just and pure
The ichor of Yahweh flows with crime
Committed by those who wait
For the world to burn
Cruel be the winds of fate
Upon porcelain flesh left to die
When she leapt from heavenly spires
Crucify martyr’s faith
At the hand of doom and denial
Witness when I cast my heart in fire
Her ghost remains in mists
A pale spectre against white turmoil
Haunts me like damnation eternal
Scry us when once we kissed
Jealously, it burns in withered chests
Pushed her into the night, nocturnal
And thus we fell
Two lover stars descend to scar
Bitter earth and frigid night
I watched with dread and awe
Her descent from Heaven
She lit up the skies
Eons of death
Horizon gloom upon the moon
Wretched souls before Satan
Fail to entertain me
Await for every dusk
But I am still Faithless
And when the bestial devil comes
To grace the day with feeble sun
Burdened with love songs of the dead
Cast back to Hell where angels fled
Lo, this feeble heart
That once burned with passion
Now torn from the sight of God
Beats with infernal wisdom
A phantom of scarlet damask
