Lyrics
Purgatory Spiral
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.
Neath whose rays we lay together
And those bright nights on glassy waves
When we would glide lightly away
From the grain
For wicked flights of pleasure
Those visions fade
Like ghosts to life's parade
Though incisions once made her so vivid
A scarlet whore
With both heels in the door
Of a heaven severed from me, insipid!
