Death Mask Divine

Removal of the eyes gives my heart a saddened chill

I preserve them in formaldehyde to gaze upon at will

How their greenish flecks befell me that starlit winter's night

I lost all that I ever was while locked within their sight

Before you sits a broken man, your fragile pinkish heart in hand

Peculiar how it can hurt so bad while love is only in the mind

I sew the gaping chestwork, each thread is made with love

The bosom where I would rest my face is covered in your blood

No

This is not the end,

You'll live on eternally

Oh

Lord it's not the end,

My secret you'll forever be

I interrupt this transformation, A familiar lust swelling in me

A long and soulful kiss, the shades are drawn, the living world can't see

The coil of entrails, how curious the smell, so pungent to my eager nostrils

Hands further compelled

No

It's not the end

Forever you'll be in my arms.

I could never let you go

My darling, cold and blue

I wonder are you dreaming still

Spread eagled, blood removed

I weave the sucking trocar

Beaneath your bruising skin

Tonigh I'll lay beside you darling

In necromantic sin

(solo)

Pinned to the bed sheets like a prized butterflyy you're mine

I hear your voice, so precious, echoing deeply inside

I did my best to love you while you did live and breathe

This tender taxidermy trophy of the bereaved.

I could never let you go

My darling, cold and blue

I wonder are you dreaming still

Spread eagled, blood removed

I weave the sucking trocar

Beaneath your bruising skin

Tonigh I'll lay beside you darling

In necromantic sin
