[00:24.20] Poets racking absinthed brains
[00:26.82] Could never fully paint these nights
[00:30.00] No martyr parting from his pain
[00:32.97] Could utter words so erudite
[00:35.96] As those she now divulged to me
[00:38.79] In the throes of passions grip
[00:41.95] Indulging latent fantasies
[00:44.97] That ran forked tongues along the lip
[00:49.26] Of fate's pudenda
[00:51.57] The twisted snake's agenda
[00:54.54] Now the world would bend
[00:56.40] To her deadly legacy
[00:59.80] Life's graveyard was waiting, such dizzying flight
[01:02.73] From the convent at All Hallows Fair
[01:05.94] Without contemplating, we fled through the night
[01:08.64] Too blood-drunk and cunt-sated to care
[01:13.98] The Goddess had spoken
[01:16.29] And awoken desire
[01:18.53] It crackled in the air around us
[01:20.96] A psychic force shimmering like fire
[01:24.00] And on her breasts, that old necklace
[01:26.99] The one I snuck from the ****ed Abbess
[01:29.99] Whose dirty little secret, other than me
[01:32.88] Now shone with bold intensity
[01:36.15] Vast the power it possessed
[01:39.54] The darkness brought to living flesh
[01:53.89] This treasure was ancient, taken by force
[01:56.83] From an elite caste of priests in Delphi
[01:59.88] The Templars were patient, they stayed out the course
[02:02.93] Then fleeced their Greek hosts in their sleep
[02:07.29] That necklace traversed
[02:09.50] Vile murders and miles worse
[02:11.80] But what was a curse
[02:14.41] To this perverse demoness?
[02:18.00] Legend swore it was a gift of malice
[02:20.76] For the maiden Harmonia
[02:23.57] The illegitimate spawn of love and war
[02:27.10] Jealousy made it gleam for her
[02:29.94] For with it clasped, her looking glass
[02:32.60] Was ever beautiful and young
[02:35.76] But disaster choked her royal caste
[02:39.02] And every throat on which it hung
[02:41.98] There madness, death and horror clung
[03:05.43] Immortalised in mortal guise
[03:08.40] She was a sight for blighted eyes
[03:13.31] A plague to gladly plagiarise
[03:17.67] And spread like red excited kisses
[03:22.50] She was more than me
[03:24.10] More than words
[03:25.66] Could fulfil in the parlance of the angels
[03:29.41] She cast a spell on every cell
[03:31.46] In my nobody
[03:32.91] She gave me back my tongue
[03:34.50] That she might run it on herself
[03:37.55] She was Lilith, she was light
[03:39.64] I was but a parasite
[03:41.65] Beckoned to temptation
[03:43.13] In her velvet overtones
[03:44.94] Through frozen arches, dressed in white
[03:46.93] She led me into paradise
[03:48.89] Neath comets in ovation
[03:50.65] Like the Queen of winter, throned..
[03:57.07] Pleasures archetypal
[03:58.65] Then much rarer agonies
[04:04.90] I was a sworn disciple
[04:06.64] Of her whims and dark decrees
[04:10.43] In Europe's hair
[04:11.83] Her spies were everywhere
[04:13.43] A sylph amongst the filthy rich and debonair
[04:17.42] Her greater plan
[04:18.94] All chaos and the fall of man
[04:20.87] For as she fed dark appetites
[04:22.84] She bred her children there
[04:26.87][04:34.89] The spawn of love and war
[04:28.90] Presiding over Hellfire clubs
[04:30.93] Arch-masons and Agharta
[04:36.96] She rode the beast, her legs apart
[04:38.89] A blazing pyre starter
[05:10.87] Life's playground elated, such dizzying sights
[05:13.65] And sensations ignited her grin
[05:16.89] As slaves celebrated her Satanic rites
[05:19.89] We climbed up to heaven in sin
[05:24.12] She came to me
[05:25.82] As she will come to you
[05:28.74] Intoxicating in her seduction
[05:31.87] Her siren sway, devastating voodoo
[05:46.85] Persistent, resistance is useless, fool
[05:49.77] To this Goddess, in lust she's cruel
[05:53.00] Beyond any measure, her pleasures will found
[05:55.83] A perverted Eden on sacred ground
[05:59.21] Vast the power I caressed
[06:01.98] The darkness brought to vivid flesh
[06:07.04] And in it she now rules a cowered universe
