The Rape And Ruin Of Angels

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Invading tempestuous skies

When Inanna rose, bringing angels repose

And Narcissus' fate as their prize

Blinded by Diana's mirror

Wherein coffined truth struggles, forlorn

And covetous stars out their eyes to deceive

The horrors performed on Her shores

As jewelled Ishtar, in darker Aeons

Trespassed Ereshkigal's grasp

Her ravening twin, wreathed in whispers and wind

Now inspires Catharsis to dance

Through the weave of white vaults

Where the shadows revolt

At the incest of spiritual love

Castrata choirs, bereft of such lusts

Spatter virginal breasts with their blood

The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve

(Thirst-ridden) Wolves serenade a Moon

Who seems no mistress of Herself

And heavens pour forth vast casualties

Thy host given up for me

Thou which wert once and then ceased to be

Art now ensconced to chapters

Of a lengthening tragedy

Whilst we scream free

Deep forests impale the sinister mist

Their sorcery taught to the clouds

Who muster like mountains, a fountainous wish

To vex the sweet dead from silk odious shrouds

Storm-woken sisters of Judas unfurl

As Psyche to Sapphic lament

Wrapt in thy tresses and taloned caresses

Whisper me secrets beheld beyond Death

Desires

I was loath to lose

To the virgin-bloodied priests

Whose lord fantasied on Magdalene

And sought to savour Her as beast

Her aching sex

A rose undone

As mine in tears and spasms wrung

Ebon Nemesis, slain Jericho's stone

Has built thee a marbled stair

By candlelight to Eden and a Serpentine throne

Where ravens rape the tenanting angels there

Hurry, else Death may spy us here

And quicken the pulse of dawn

Embering flames writhe to life again

The starry brow threshed with poisonous thorn

Huntress, draw back the silvered bow

Thy dogs set upon the manger

The enemy in throes

Whilst drifting fogs devour

All Hallows witching hour

On this long, dark seance for the soul

Through malevolent Scylla, Charybdis graves

Our conquesting spirits pour forth, unassuaged

Occultnesses watch us and Seraph, afraid

Like fireflies plunge to Her maw, midst crashing black waves

Remember with pride what thou art

Lest we forget in awe of our terrible past

When Dark royalties drank of despair

Idols hewed down 'neath a desert God's stare

In thrall to revenges sworn there

What dreams could we father, when farther we fell

To nightmare

Well versed in misery

We have lain naked in darkest ravines

Now the Sun has set in slumber. We delight

Like serpents in arousal

Coiled to strike at the light

Now abyssed Lucifers master the earth

Uncloister jaded harlots once served

Enthralled by cruel raptures, rehearsed

Kiss slumbered beauty and weapon our thousand year curse

The laughter of Khaos

Gatekeepers flee the onslaught

A World enslaved to flame

Bondage in Phallustine

Pleasure temples for my bride

Nubian grace swiftly seize

Thieves blood-divine

Empires thrive on sacrifice
