Black Vanity

In fear you run As silence shuts its doors It came undone Now the poison gently pours And you will hear no laughter Until that serpent feeds And what you'll sow hereafter Shall be only bitter seed Sweet lusts of pain The venom in thin disguise Against the grain Now the silence won't ease the cries Dark are the pleasures spit forth from fire Breathing down you neck like razors of desire

The sinners masquerade An asylum for the weak A feast for the wolf Our faces lost in the deep Empty space our souls to keep The hour of twilight As silent as sin Drifting beyond dreaming Erasing all therein Into black nightmare Cry in vain The eyes set sail Towards ebony rain The mirror cease to live Images all gone Cutting through our hearts A slice of ended life Will our memories stain the knife

The ruins shall bear witness to what I've become Damned by the riddles of shame Now they lower me down into the mouth of flames The disease now lives again So, the thorn has grown since then Animation of disgrace From the years when I had a face Long lost pictures come to life once more The sewers of yesterday spreads its breath into this dream The smell of dying colours, and illusions that bleed The threads are all wearing thin But still they let no sunshine in Desolation comes alone As the skin falls from our bones Oblivion lies safe within these hands A hangman shadow resting upon my back Imprisonment - A godly state of being Where time is merely a word existing in past tense Feed the hole and welcome to my wound Down the void of perception a shallow vision streams Reality brings deception and dust of past dreams The witness of my ruin came to follow me The riddles soon perished in shame As they lowered him down into the mouth of flames The hunger claws inside My innocence went with the tide Served the agents of decay Now watch impurity wash away

Passion stains the godless taste The human eye now raped and dazed Our marks of shame soon worn away The spider's trapped in a web of clay Naked in the desert of delight Banish the thoughts into the night Scarecrow servant of demise Parting the honey from the flies What's in the veins is what to keep Still the floods of raptures sound asleep Visions fade and die at ease Inferior slaves are ours to please The last of shadows shapes the end From mountains high it all descends One single dagger unleash the doom Creation falls in my closed room

Kneeling before the carnal demon machine On hands and knees she shallows divinity Begging for forgiveness, the blessing of a kiss The essence of denial, the pleasure of her sin Father please embrace me My lusts I lay unto thee Free me from temptation May you scourge this skin with the seeds of salvation She's crying beneath an image An image of a hundred thorns Rivers that calm, rivers that lie Thorns like nails driven into her flesh Ecstacy nailed to the cross Holy water pouring on my breasts On hands and knees I shallow divinity A picture that calms, a picture that lies I'm drowning in the face of Jesus Christ

Drowning in the sunset's lullaby Sleeping in the womb of the firefly Floating in a sequence frozen still The liquid reaper mover in for the kill Standing by the shore Last departure cannot wait no more (soon to close its doors) A farewell in grey See all the lost ones now march away (serpentine parade) The end of forever The last wave of the cosmic sea Manifestation of the never A last sting of the honey bee Floating in a sequence frozen still The liquid reaper mover in for the kill Fail to breath inside my hollow shell Felt no sorrow as the curtain fell

Faceless I am dying Upon a withered Earth Pain gave me silence And pain gave me birth Lifeless I am falling Into a room of ice At ease inside my prison Saved from bitter lies The dust I leave behind... A shadow you must wear Feel the darkness in your mind And the cold despair... Flashing through my memory The emptiness I hide Losing all desire Losing all but pride The bridges all are burning Nothing left to see The world now stands in ruin Come sweet tragedy

"The autumn came and the leaves fell Like raindrops from heaven Like sinners to hell For every drop a sin was earned. For every leaf a sinner burned." Bodies form the pattern of everlasting sin Embrace the flesh and tame the blood That pounds the veins therein In the ashes that they crawl All dreams are shattered The flames will never be the same In the ashes that they crawl So does desire Before the pale autumn fire The needle's creeping downwards And the scars bleed in my soul Upon the weakened limbs I spit And now I've crushed you every goal In the ashes that they crawl All dreams are shattered The flames will never be the same In the ashes that they crawl You found desire Dead in the pale autumn fire

Incomplete... (a state I knew) Dry as dust... (the thirst of few) Once a chill but now it's fear Fell the numb drawing near Out of reach from human touch What walks the earth now ain't much Left alone to claim the guilt Out in sand my life's been split In my lungs grows the pain Violet days won't come again The waiting act's gone too far The screen is blank where we are Dry as dust... (the thirst of few) The days so numb that I once knew

Judgement ground Overdrive of sympathy Withdraw the rats from the beast ...Onto therapy Obsession leaves you weak Still you're the beauty we all seek Rainy days will pass on by Rosemary taste the sky A widow of belief Still your morning sense no grief Rainy days will pass on by Rosemary taste the sky Mirror of a twisted fate Slide into... A whisper from an opium dream Just for you
