Lyrics
Libertine
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.
Pain as if knife just met bone
Pushing the boundaries of pleasure
That no man has known
We have such sights to show you
Break you, mold you
So if you think this is suffering
You've seen nothing yet
I'm going to light up your body
And scorch every nerve ending
Every sense is completely shattered
Give yourself to me
When you start to scream your lighted eyes
They slowly fade
I breathe life into you just to take it all away
This elasticity of skin you've bestowed
Unto me brings me to insanity
I remember a time when I pledged my allegiance
To the divine with compassion in mind
Your skin is mine to oppress
I am the heathen, I am pain
I'm intoxicated dripping with the power of her flesh
Illuminating what was once dark
Pulling the lust from my heart to the surface
I give in to these animalistic urges
I am the heathen, I am pain
I'm going to light up your body
And scorch every nerve ending
Every sense is completely shattered
Give yourself to me
When you start to scream your lighted
Eyes the slowly fade
You will suffer unto me!
This sensory overload will bring you to your knees
Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same
The two are indivisible
Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same
The two are indivisible
Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same
The two are indivisible
