Hurt and Virtue Lyrics
5 ContributorsHurt and Virtue LyricsDistant vistas
Swathed in the haze of the reddening sunset
Fell to whispers
'Neath the stars that marred descending skies
From the cusp of midnight mountains
Wending as a mist
Rebels truced with Feriluce
(In truth, few could resist)
Came praising this hellraising through
The sparse and marble clime
Where Virtue bathed, their ravenings made
Her fountains flood with vine
Lifted with the gift
Of their dark seductive songs
She drifted from the path
She was surely set upon
Courting chaos
Prized in the sight of the covering angel
Taught in ways of
Smothering another love other than God
Worshipped in each other's arms
Like spider eidolons
The moon conducted like a charm
Those strange arrangements on
And this is how they came to be
Dragged before the throne
Trough tongues that hung whilst theirs were run
On soft white throats and punctured moans
Though fated now than later
By his tutor that had been
He baited the Creator
With the future he had seen
Of Michael, psyched with jealousies
A reich by His side
And worming Man about to be
The apple of His eye
His children lost to free will
And the cost of beaten hearts
Like the nigt 'twixt vice and Virtue
When Her kiss became a scar
Seraph enemies
Why has my lord forsaken my judgement
Am I not free
As He to indulge my darkest fantasies?
From embittered lips
These words were slavered
Split on the whips
Of their witch hunt gathered
He sought Her gaze
Midst drowning crowds that howled in rage
"Blasphemer! Blasphemer!"
Though She was gone
Not lyriced to the song of their spirited throng
But ghosted back where She belonged
A grace embracing Michael
In a lace of tears that bleared Her pride
He swallowed, blood followed
Through with spit for all things divine
Through with spit for all things so fucking blind
His seal He tore
And to the floor
He threw his tie to Heaven
Signifying holy war
And watchful of this sign
A thousand flames, unauthorized
Left celestial posts
To coalesce and, unified
Return their fallen leader
As he turned one final time
And threw a glance
Like a downward lance
That stung like guilt in every mind
Presents From the Poison-Hearted Lyrics
5 ContributorsPresents from the Poison-Hearted LyricsReigning at the feast of Phantasia
Heightened pleasures were endeavoured to bow
Before My coronation and vocal aspirations
To rule this fool creation fallen 'neath Me now
I knew deep eyes of a distant Christ
Were scarred from afar under starry lustre
Sighting my recitals on the rites of vice
Perverting Virtue, enslaving grace
Behind the glittering mask of pride
Saving face finding thorns to pierce his side
Desire, the fire
Spread hell throughout my soul
And higher the wire
The more I sought control
Straining from the leash in exultation
Head to the wind to breathe with ravenous lungs
The global scent of fornication
A writhe of many vipers deciphering tongues
I whispered schemes to dreamers then
To pursue an Eden
That screamed of me supreme again
As my world bloomed, so too the moon
Through Adam to Seth, Enos, Cainan
Mahalaleel and Jared blew
Perverting virtue, enslaving grace
Behind the slippery guise of lies
Saving face making waves to drown their faith
Messiahs, pariahs
Aeons reversed the two
Thus higher, their sprites
The more cursed grew their roots and suffering
I swept cruel seas
On the galley of the shadow of death
A fist in the cunt of the spread horizon
A kiss for the sun risen red once dined on
The coast of Menses
Discharged from celestial wombs
A first degree murder of ravens
Followed in fugue through the crack of doom
The Goat of Mendes
I set regime in the galley of the shadow of death
Angels in raiments as pure as coal
Taking their payments in tortured mortal souls
A bold direction, the abyss edge
But on cold reflection one they warmed to nonetheless
As they preyed the paths of the righteous one
Through the myth of thistled orchard floors
Bearing gifts of plenitude for
The apples of the Lord were rotten to the core
Temptation, my ambassador
Attila, Herod, Pharisees and Nero
All begged of Me for more
Down dark steps of history
I waged a war with a Heaven
I could not see beyond my wildest fantasies
Throwing sixes over deadly sin
I traded those who played to win
Skin for precious kin
And that that wormed within
And that that wormed within
Staining the reams of revelation
Etching ever-afters in accursed verse
The limpid rags of resurrection
From papal parapets were to dirt dispersed
Desire, the flyers
Spread Hell throughout their souls
And higher the fire
The more I held control
