Tortured Soul Asylam
Lyricist:Paul Allender, Daniel Davey, Robin Eaglestone, Adrian Erlandsson, Guiseppe Piras, Martin Powell
Oh, sweet Midian, I burn for thee at heart Don't despair me Come bare me on wings of graveyard robbed leather To where pleasure rings deep secrets in spurts after dark
Under full moons waxing lyrically Death's poetry floods the soul Like the freezing seed of a demon freed To curse the stars with vertigo
And in their dance, in trance I've prised wide Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs Hymeneal gates to darker sides A glimpse of plinths where Midian lies, Midian
Haunted by this portent This obsession in my mind With a city sunk below Tall cedar groves and graves sublime
Sporting their importance Marble wings spread to the skies A vale of dreams that it would seem The daylights race to leave behind
These visions struck like a furious fuck Nailing wet lips to cold cemetery walls Flashes of lust to dust, splashed across my psychic pall As hybrid lovers reached their cusp with final thrusts I saw it all
Forbidden Midian, a long fabled Judecca A sanctuary for sin, to rival Heaven (None of Eden's tragic wreck) Small mercies in vistas of dolmen and vault
Gaunt, haunched edifices, midst light fingered mists From whence more awful shadows Drew back rusted bolts and dared a threshold The searing Sun had knelt to kiss
Shades of dusk, cruelty and myth The Tribes of Christ will not forgive And shall not suffer their kind to live
For I, mesmerized, started not from tombs Or their waltz so sibilant, through the gathering gloom But from flumes of the moon in bloom Baring catch a face effaced and raped in the womb
In hidden Midian, a Vatican lying in state For the sanctity of sin to rival Heaven tragic wreck Small mercies in vistas where dolmen and vault Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Caught twisted whispers where fisted sisters
Haunched, flaunted orifice Midst lighter fingered mists Whilst I watched without revolt Carnalities few beasts permit
Between the dog and wolf Bared fangs met in intercourse A nightly rite of teeth and cunt For those below who rose to hunt
Soar sights that preyed on me for days And in laudanum's haze, I painted them all The slew of sith and kin, I drew in blood, my veins in thrall To Deathugees at peace within
Grotesques and wolves in womens skins The raven winged and missing limbed Suicides and split thighed Seraphim And marble stairs, stargazers dare, ascend like prayer
Under full moons waxing lyrically Death's poetry floods the soul Like the recking weed of a demon freed To curse the star with vertigo
And in their dance, in trance I prise wide Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs Hymeneal gates to other sides A labyrinth wherein Midian hides, Midian
I know I've seen, through the black backed mirrors in sanity Lucent prides amassed in last retreat Prurient souls but no more freaks Than those leashing dreams at harm's length from me
And just like grim ascension prophecies My revenge, carved deep, will be, a grisly plot that reads Like my filthy white ward spattered with their screams When my deviliverers come from fog for me, please come for me
Exhuming the moon, through the bars in my room The sooner the bitter pills swallowed are through (But no Genotypes, Aphrodite, Demonarchaetypes) (No Cenobites rise to claim Me for you)
No, no, no, no, no Don't leave here in this storm weathered cell, no, no, no no no With prophets and losses and dead men from crosses My fate is a preview of derelict hell, Midian
