She's so distinct Yet unpredictable Like a witch who never sleep the night she's out to kill With a wink, a sudden look of love I try to block her out Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone To paralyze, hypnotize string me along You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on from just a taste Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone She's so in sync Yet so out of control Like a snake that grabs ahold and never lets you go I'm growing weak And I can't breathe I try to cut you off (I try to cut you off) You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on from just a taste Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste No medicine can cure me No medicine can cure me No medicine can cure your poison, girl You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on Don't drink the poison Don't drink the poison If there's a cure for sorcery, so sweet The spell that you got me on is just a thing Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone (yeah, yeah, yeah) To paralyze, hypnotize string me along

Lead to the river, midsummer, I waved A V of black swans on with hope to the grave All through Red September with skies fire-paved I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones Cold was my soul, untold was the pain I faced when you left me a rose in the rain So I swore to the razor that never enchained Would your dark nails of faith be pushed through my veins again Bared on your tomb, I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon come above unto me? For once upon a time from the binds of your loneliness I could always find the right slot for your sacred key Six feet deep is the incision in my heart, that barless prison Discolors all with tunnel vision, sunsetter, nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition, this lust is vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission, none better, nymphetamine Nymphetamine, nymphetamine Nymphetamine girl Nymphetamine, nymphetamine My nymphetamine girl Wracked with your charm, I am circled like prey Back in the forest where whispers persuade More sugar trails, more white lady laid Than pillars of salt Fold to my arms hold their mesmeric sway And dance out to the moon as we did in those golden days Christening stars, I remember the way We were needle and spoon mislaid in the burning hay Bared on your tomb, I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon come above unto me? For once upon a time from the bind of your holiness I could always find the right slot for your sacred key Six feet deep is the incision in my heart, that barless prison Discolors all with tunnel vision, sunsetter, nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition, this lust is vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission, none better, nymphetamine Sunsetter, nymphetamine (Nymphetamine) None better, nymphetamine Nymphetamine, nymphetamine Nymphetamine girl Nymphetamine, nymphetamine My nymphetamine girl

Evanescent like the scent of decay I was fading from the race When in despair, my darkest days ran amok and forged her face From the fairest of handmaidens to a slick perverted wraith Nymphetamine Heaving midst narcissus on a maledict blanket of stars She was all three wishes Sex, sex, sex A lover hung on her deathrow, I was hooked on her disease Highly strung like Cupid's bow whose arrows hungered meat And the blinding flare of passion In the shade of narrow streets Where their poison never rationed, all the tips they left in me Two tracks Bric-a-brac Something passed between us like a bad crack Upward-lit I'd met another kind Of rat In fact with every Rome inside me licked and ransacked She haunted at the corners of my mind In black Cataracts Wouldn't whitewash away her filthy smoke stack She burnt me like a furnace For my future suicide Lead to the river Midsummer, I waved A V of black swans on with hope to the grave All through Red September With skies fire-paved I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones Cold was my soul, untold was the pain I faced when you left me a rose in the rain So I swore to the razor That never enchained would your dark nails of faith Be pushed through my veins again Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon come above unto me? For once upon a time from the binds of your lowliness I could always find the right slot for your sacred key Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, this vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine Nymphetamine, nymphetamine Nymphetamine girl Nymphetamine, nymphetamine My nymphetamine girl Wracked with your charm I am circled like prey Back in the forest where whispers persuade More sugar trails more white lady laid Than pillars of salt Fold to my arms hold their mesmeric sway And dance out to the moon as we did in those golden days Christening stars I remember the way We were needle and spoon mislaid in the burning hay Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness And would you ever soon come above unto me?

Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra Meaningless is this all there is A flicker of life in a black forever? Shine a light on the bowels of Heaven Dark futures howl in her grip Frightening new constellations, headlong Press their scowls on Orion's lip Our earth is strangled From within and soon without Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In the coming apocalypse Existential terror Furies spit on grave endeavours The world is a slippery reef Encircled by beasts of the sea 'neath an eclipse! Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra The more we know, all the more we quiver On our knees before prophecies Just begun or being sung for countless centuries Psalms carved deep into our psyches Our earth, newfangled Abrim with sin and fully undevout Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In the coming apocalypse Existential terror Bleak winds blow storm-crow scarers The world is a slippery reef Encircled by beasts of the wing 'neath an eclipse A gnawing fear of death Of the great beyond Of the lessening bells of midnights left To dwell upon what the hell went wrong A perverse, reverse Pentecost Mass cataclysm, all is lost Accursed music of the spheres Ascends to score a bitter ending, here! Existential terror Pestilential errors fly In the face of planetary strife Existential terror Four Horsemen our pall bearers Riding nightmares of purebred belief In it's extermination! Decide, eyes scour blazing skies Time to embrace the inevitable We are all going to fucking die! Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus Again Pulvis et umbra sumus Nothing but nothing remains Pulvis et umbra sumus

I'm waiting in my cold cell When the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life And it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low Motherfuckers Running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites Take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that there's some sort of error? Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow, but why am I crying? After all, I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you" If there's a god, then why has he let me go? As I walk, my life drifts before me And though the end is near, I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to seek the truth So when you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Hallowed be thy name Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Hallowed be thy name

One dark afternoon Like a shadow I flew Through the rain that fell sick with lament To this house of incest For when we undressed Blasphemies against Venus were rent Though a sister removed Her white body approved The parade of my heavenly quests Yet, all tongues are not true Some are forked or askew Like an uncivil serpent's at best For ousted from Eden I fausted all reason In mouth like Saint Peter Pan To haunt fairy groves And hot virgin coves Where in the promiscuous swam I elected lovers and rejected others Mathistrisses that don't give a damn But for those that still do My deep interest grew The rise of the true pentagram!

"I will give to drink without cost From the spring of the water of life He who overcomes will inherit all this And I will be his god And he will be my son" When contrary winds blow across the sands Their murmurs can be easily swayed But when storms quicken one cannot placate The howling of their murderous rages Winged seraphim hold love's trembling hand Beside our waiting graves As war roars about our precious land Seeking cause to subjugate Tonight in flames Tonight the world will fear our names Tonight in flames Stay my feeble heart Our deaths will be the start of something glorious and vain Tonight in flames There is no fanaticism as virile as faith To the blind his words are clear "Suffer not the infidel! Suffer not the infidel!" "Assure your place in paradise here" Winged seraphim hold love's trembling hand Beside her tiny grave I will avenge her, do or damned Her sacred mother did the same Tonight in flames Tonight the world will fear our names Tonight in flames Stay my feeble heart Our deaths will be the start of something glorious and vain Tonight in flames I went to see her dance one day in a play by a wailing wall Now she is gone but the song lives on Zealous and maniacal The Eastern sword must fall "The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile The murderers, the idolaters, and all liars Their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur" Winged seraphim hold love's trembling hand Beside our waiting graves As war roars about our precious land Seeking cause to subjugate Tonight in flames Tonight the world will fear our names Tonight in flames Stay my feeble heart Our deaths will be the start of something glorious and vain Tonight in flames
