Inside her lies a dancing swan with delicate contortions

Her durable teeth are not afraid of the devil

Why can't we create romance in front of the execution?

Listen to my racing blood vessels

Cater to the piercing light that sears your skin

When immersed in tragedy, comes the unforgivable sunrise

Glance down at the smoking barrel of sin

While her eyes wield nothing but lies


Doesn't her murder excite you?

Don't laugh at the grieving, you hungrous maniac

Soon, she decays into stew

Her pristine skeleton, wearing a beautiful smile; how prestigious, dear amnesiac!

Can't remember me, can't recall the bruises of your past life

I'll proudly watch you surrender into confusion

The harboring of collective ghosts visiting created lullabies of the knife

Even if wedded by delusion, head towards the beautiful kiss of profusion


As of late, death swings with a tune in his heart

The wind howling past his rib cage

He knows all too well; his knowledge is a sin!

Silence the crier now before a riot disperses

End the good deeds with the blade

It's the only way to be free from travesty

The lady weeps in prayer before bed

Her tears pooling as she's drowning in the blood of her victims


There is no time to idle at the grinning face of melting flesh


Find the velvet between the gap of my teeth,

Induced by numbered passion,

Restricting your heated breath beneath the bridal wreath

You enjoy encompassing darkness in your bewitching fashion

Faces full of flesh beg you for marriage

Under suspicion, you wait for the assassin

As you disperse away into your carriage

Into freedom away from the glint trading your eyes for silver.
