[00:00.74] Babalon A.D.
[00:12.95]
[00:41.91] I bled on a pivotal stretch
[00:44.03] Like a clockwork Christ
[00:45.43] Bears sore stigmata, bored
[00:48.26]
[00:48.49] And as I threw Job, I drove
[00:51.16] Myself to a martyred wretch
[00:54.29] To see if I drew pity
[00:56.73] Or pretty litanies from the Lord
[00:59.70]
[01:00.24] So the plot sickened
[01:01.63] With the coming of days
[01:02.95] Ill millennia thickened
[01:04.39] With the claret I sprayed
[01:06.36] And though they saw red
[01:07.61] I left a dirty white stain
[01:08.84] A splintered knot in the grain
[01:10.42] On Eden’s marital aid
[01:12.71]
[01:16.67] So glad for the madness(x2)
[01:24.84]
[01:36.07] I walked the walls naked to the moon
[01:38.71] In Sodom and Babylon
[01:41.97] And through rich whores and corridors
[01:43.82] Of the Vatican
[01:45.74] I led a sordid Borgia on
[01:48.34]
[01:53.17] I read the Urilia text
[01:55.17] So that mortals wormed
[01:56.82] As livebait for the dead
[01:59.45]
[01:59.93] And as I broke hope, I choked
[02:02.75] Another Pope with manna peel
[02:05.64] Dictating to DeSade
[02:07.29] In the dark entrails of the Bastille
[02:12.26] And as He wrote, I smote
[02:14.53] A royal blow to the heads of France
[02:18.36] And in the sheen of guillotines
[02:20.68] I saw others, fallen, dance
[02:27.04]
[02:47.39] I was an incurable
[02:48.64] Necromantic old fool
[02:50.20] A phagadaena that crawled
[02:51.86] Drooling over the past
[02:53.46] A rabid wolf in a shawl
[02:54.59] A razor’s edge to the rule
[02:56.19] That the stars overall
[02:57.62] Were never destined to last
[02:59.64]
[03:03.86] So glad for the madness(x2)
[03:14.91]
[03:23.41] I furnaced dreams, a poet, foe of sleep
[03:26.28] Turning sermons with the smell
[03:29.23] On Witchfinder fingers
[03:30.68] Where bad memories lingered
[03:32.23] Burning, as when Dante
[03:33.79] Was freed to map Hell
[03:35.43]
[03:40.94] I sired schemes and the means
[03:42.63] To catch sight of the seams
[03:44.14] And the vagaries inbetween...
[03:47.30]
[04:00.03] And midst the lips and the curls
[04:02.34] Of this cunt of a world
[04:07.29] In glimpses I would see
[04:09.64] A nymph with eyes for me
[04:22.32]
[04:23.73] Eyes of fire that set all life aflame
[04:25.88] Lights that surpassed art
[04:28.98] In sight , that no intense device of pain
[04:31.81] Could prise their secrets from my heart
[04:35.22]
[04:37.10] I knew not Her name
[04:38.27] Though her kiss was the same
[04:39.56] Without a whisper of shame
[04:40.94] As either Virtue or Sin’s
[04:42.90] And pressed to Her Curve
[04:44.10] I felt my destiny swerve
[04:45.53] From damnation reserved
[04:47.11] To a permanent grin...
[04:49.02]
[04:53.50] So glad for the madness(x2)
