Withering Surface Scarlett Silhouettes 1. Scarlet Silhouettes Fitful, demonical, subdued Rising of Lucifer's wave A silently passing of emotional replacement Lounging down the avenue of piquant Furiosly applying our amorous glances The searchlight of the pistil Compatible with my loving she hound Hounds of love we were Blood hounds in season True we never were Broken vow of charity Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes Lying in her silk sheets covered in sweat Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes An exhibition of luck, I slowly regret Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes As my prime fills her camisole I wish we never met Seeing into the eyes of the bewitched All left are the scars it made 2. Beautybeast Like rings in the water Lethargic drifting apart Never reaching shore Longingforever more Unperceived our crimson beauty Lurks into a vehement chasm The tide reveals the beast The beautybeast - is haunting me The beautybeast - takes control The beautybeast - is haunting me The beautybeast - takes my soul Beauty, the beautybeast Frantic as my heroine Secludes her sinister deeds Platacatory she avoids What now is her deceit I raise my fist to the sky And swear my hunger for revenge will never die My faith in you is decerpit Never will I repress your defamatory deceit Like leaves in autumn trees Lethargic drifting apart Withering, soon sour Longing forever more 3. A Lily White Sign She always has been Priveleged as queen Enchanted by her inner screen Frailty thy name is female In hymns she blooms A queen so pale Hordes f male forth she brings Under her fragrant wings In her shrinking heart Shadows dance fatigueous With the vetebra of poison A Lily white sign... 4. ...And She Blossomed The lighting tears of she who arose From the glow of the sunset An auricular confession Where her colossal lust is forged Into a blazingspark A spark which soon sets Free her ardent genitals As soft as velvet As sweet as honey As beautyful as the virginal scent of her Her scarlet abdornen Finer than silk A vestige of heaven Her ardent genitals invite me in On the confessional Thenectar of our orgasm Runs down her tights Covering the face of Christ - Jesus Christ 5. Majestic Mistress Penetrating your lips of delight Venus, await me Majestic mistress Majestic, the wounds The wounds inside I... I transcend the ironic bounty of you Engraving our lecherous lust To the perverse fervour Obtained by our deep passion Entangled in each others souls Majestic mistress Majestic, I found The princely journey Majestic, I found The grateful learning Majestic mistress Majestic, the wounds The wounds wide open Majestic, the wounds Blood runs unspoken 6. Farewell We were so close together Like being born again Now everything is withered My dream is gone Farewell, my love I will no longer hide This constant fear inside I will no longer hide This constant pain inside Whispers from below Darkness fills my eyes My dream is forsaken A victim of your demise I thought we were close together How could I be so naive Now everything is withered I vanish in grief 7. Behind The Other Side Behind the other side Crossing the border to Neverland, I am lost Behind, behind the other side Inescapable, inexcusable I am lost behind Went through the deepest rivers Climbed the highest mountains Swore to be faithful, the most faithful Succumbed the ancient spirit And stranded in eternity Let the wind carry me above Let the stars show me the way Let the moon protect me Hiding in the shadows Afraid to see the light My pale reflections Finally out of sight Integration, condemned to be Without communication Let my body into nothingness Now I lie here restless I can only I'd been thinking Oh, God, take my soul away My thoughts are in circles Only one thing on my mind I could have made it happen I scream and say goodbye 8. Pitiful Emblems Pitful emblems Stillstanding, lonely, wounded Odious I feel towards my pitful emblems My disgust grows as I foresee Sowing my shell with enough courage As I understand Pitful emblems Stillstanding, lonely Wounded in my soul Pitful emblems To evade my frame mind Like colourful illustrations Seen with the eyes of a blind man The quiet light The tender illustrations The dreadful, hidden emotion The quiet light I know so well From before, hiding is not possible 9. Your Shadow, My Shelter I cry for love and seek shelter For my bewildering mind Only your shadow can prevent My soul from fading away My veins will burst I fade away at your scent Surrounds my senses I'll break your spell You are my shelter There's a shadow hanging over me As flowers wither The shadows takes my hand And I find shelter Me from fading away Into the nightfall eclipse With your beautyful scent Surrounding my senses I - I cry For the lust that you give I - I cry For the love that you give Away - in blasphemy I take control Guest appearances: Josephine - female vocals on 6.
