- LIVING GODDESS IN DYING FLESH -


”They will say that I have shed innocent blood. What's blood for if not for shedding?”

I lay my hand onto your pale skin
To feel your veins throbbing for a touch of sin
Pumping smoothly, a crimson river
A taste of fever waits to begin again

I lay you out, shivering, naked
A canvas, my lovely, I’ll make you famous
Panting softly, heaving of your breasts
Do you like my caress, my dearest taken?

don’t close your eyes
i want you to see
i want you to feel
i need you to
SCREAM

I stay my hand once more to witness
The terror, my lovely, and oh so wetness
Running sweetly dripping from your thighs
I see it in your eyes, a kindred sickness

don’t close your eyes
i want you to see
i want you to feel
i need you to
SCREAM

Can you feel
The biting
The cutting
The loving
The tearing?

I need you
The breathing
The living
The screaming
The dying

I will make you
More than you are
More than He made
Immortalized
The canvas of the grave

Hallowed
A living goddess
In dying flesh

Now that I have painted with the blade
Let out one last whimper, remember that day
That we met as I split you open?
A saw, a rope and the canvas of the grave

don’t close your eyes
i want you to see
i want you to feel
i need you to
SCREAM

Can you feel
The biting
The cutting
The loving
The tearing?

I need you
The breathing
The living
The screaming
The dying

I will make you
More than you are
More than He made
Immortalized
The canvas of the grave
