- 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
