Reigning 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   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 skin…   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
