An Archangel in bondage   Bediademed, souled   With a murder of ravens   But no less Astarte to behold   Abandoned by Heaven   To the dead, dark and past   Cast Her dispersions   On life's brittle glass      And though Her eyes still held fire   As stonewalls caged the beast   'Gainst the lassitudes of Death   She fought but fell to greet   And midst lies in collusion   She was martyred to teach   That "Divinity and Lust   Are forever forbidden to meet"      But I swore that they would   Before the veil could part our embrace   Twixt Her cold, silent hips I kissed   And promised Christendom in flames      Gravid with madness   Like a feculent dirge   That obsesses the heart   I am covened by words      To avenge Her   Ebon splendour   And surrender   My soul to the dead to achieve   Prophecies of libidinous scourge   Horripilation braying o'er carious herds      Vexing nightmares   And their weak prayers   To a no one there   To hinder Her decree      To weed the world of their disease      As shadows unblind mine eyes to see   The meat that is their congregation      How they plead to the skies   But this is mere foreplay to war      Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal   Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest   A psychophant, the despoiler of faith   Now His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese      For Her interred   I tore a battle banner from His hide   Splashed in red goetia   Hues of Hell and deicide   So came the night   Its obsidian light   Is a master whom disasters   Suck upon like concubines   And under black skirts   That whisper of delight   Darkseeds near fruition   Darked deeds to marry mine      "In Death's bed I have lain   Paying lip-service to shame   But for dreaming of thee I regain   A reason to seek life again"      Then we smite the divine   For our true nature is sin   To strip tender flesh from these swine   Like the lick of carnivorous winds      The breath of the storm that begins   By forcing its Herod tongue in   The womb of the holy virgin   To taste of immaculate sin      From temptation's peak we will see   The world unfurled at last   Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind   Shall be as one in grim repast      Commemorating sickle moons   The pack are poised to reap   A scythe of white roses in bloom   Whose twisted thorns will keep   A crown upon a dead man   Daylights crucified in sleep   And lives that hide in scriptured lies   To the memories of a scream      And we shall dance amid the ruin   As Adam and Evil   Dizzy at the falling stars   That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval      If all must we damn for this moment   Then it shall be so   For our souls have crossed oceans of time   To clasp one another more tightly   Than Death could alone........      As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl   The talons of lust rake a clarion call   To the lick of carnivorous winds      The lick of carnivorous winds
