- THE UNHOLY TRINITY VALENTINE -


Once upon a waning moon
Drips venom from the gorgon’s tomb
Lay a withered rose on my grave
There, from whence, the nightshade bloom
My Unholy Trinity walked forth
From the mysts of grey

This Valentine
Or Violentine
The thunder of murder
Ripples the scarlet wine

Who doth scribe this fairy tale
From altars to those haunted sails
Fluttered unto our blackened shores
Drive me to the gates of Hell
The Unholy Trinity inks me
With another world

This Valentine
Or Violentine
The thunder of murder
Ripples the scarlet wine

Take me to thy shadows
Your grim and sacred shows
Absinthe lipstick stains
Three roses upon my grave

Flamma! Succubus! Sacrificium!
Walk with me within the abyss
Flamma! Succubus! Sacrificium!
Our steps echo through the apocalypse


The darkness is exquisite
With the quills with which you lament
Seduction and words of wisdom
Quelling the beast with your torment
The Unholy Trinity teases
With something beyond

This Valentine
Or Violentine
The thunder of murder
Ripples the scarlet wine

Take me to thy shadows
Your grim and sacred shows
Absinthe lipstick stains
Three roses upon my grave

Sometimes it seems
That my words lose their luster
As I cross my fields of penance

Sometimes it seems
That I am faceless in grief
Bound to this undeserving wretch

But The Unholy Trinity

Brings me back again

Flamma!

Succubus!

Sacrificium!

Guide me to thy shores


This Valentine
Or Violentine
The thunder of murder
Ripples the scarlet wine

Take me to thy shadows
Your grim and sacred shows
Absinthe lipstick stains
Three roses upon my grave

Flamma! Succubus! Sacrificium!
Walk with me within the abyss
Flamma! Succubus! Sacrificium!
Our steps echo through the apocalypse


Grim might be our fairy tales
But they legendary
