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
