HELLBOUND GOSPEL : SCARLET LUNACY

The name of the game is pain
To feel something other than
NOTHING
The heart of the secret show
Is blackened by passion
HELLBOUND

The gospel is scarlet
Inked in the blood of delirium
The tears and suffering
Sleep in unholy martyrium

Meat hooks and iron chains
Sway as blood coagulates
Toll like a bell from Hell
Leather and chatter teeth
Crucifixion nails pierced skulls
In this labyrinth Hell

At the gates of Midian
Screaming into your nightmares
LAMENT
The Configuration twists
And turns on the axis
OF PAIN

A pact with the devil
Wrought in the flames of damnation
Imagination curse
Into the jaws of Leviathan

Meat hooks and iron chains
Sway as blood coagulates
Toll like a bell from Hell
Leather and chatter teeth
Crucifixion nails pierced skulls
In this labyrinth Hell

As I look into the Fugue
There is always a thief
As the dominions collide
And then we're torn asunder

THIS PLACE IS FUCKING CURSED

the edge
The dreg
Of town
Is too far to reach
there's no
Escape
From me
WHERE GOD CANNOT SEE

Meat hooks and iron chains
Sway as blood coagulates
Toll like a bell from Hell
Leather and chatter teeth
Crucifixion nails pierced skulls
In this labyrinth Hell
