Pallid Reflection

歌詞

Here forms a knotted sorrow The vivid grasp of fading faces Storm clouds plot to follow... I wander despondent, a curse on the grave Her hair in my locket, a lock of nightshade And there in my pocket, I nurse the charade Her ring is awaiting her back I watch her from shadows, pariah by day I sleep in dark belfries and cellars away From the ungiving living, their neurotic plague Has turned her as I to the black Faster beats the drum of dark arcanum Marie I turned a deaf ear to heaven When the evil eye accompanied me You'll see I am no further needed in the mirror By my pallid reflection I thirst so perversely, the worst is this crave For sweet scarlet blood from a harlot parade Of dutiful victims I beautifully take With delicious malicious intent A gift from a goddess who toyed with her game The price of my night's infidelity paid At the alter of her never faltering blade Of infernal nocturnal descent Faster beats the heart of dark arcanum So I walk the moonlit quarters Like a driven beast of prey A catalyst for madness, slaughter Given the leash to play I'm detritus to my chosen A ghost for all her days Thus is Cocytus frozen From those loved and left betrayed Dream-dappled streams of sunshine Dread fog shall dissipate As red skies descend on graveyard floors Where the dead exhilarate My heart is gone Taken by a nigtmare bourgeois creature Now you belong To your sick womanagerie N, n, no, no I'm not the reason for this bleeding N, n, no, no My past is fast leaving me Aghast in purgatory Faster beats the drum of dark arcanum Marie I turned a deaf ear to heaven When the evil eye accompanied me You'll see I am no longer greeted in the mirror By my pallid reflection So I stalk the moonlit quarters Like a driven beast of prey A catalyst for madness, slaughter Given the season I taste the true nature Of this secret caste This devil undone Soars free at last...
