MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
When the moonlight sleeps upon the waveless lake And the mists steal in with ease The children of the night may sing But I will call to thee "I will call to thee...." Encroaching evening skies die with such tragedy And the dead in their graves dwell on pleasures to be In deepes Styria where our legend still breathes Thou has murmured my name as the wind through the trees And I will come, as if in dream My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen, Of noble love fatale An eager guillotine Erishkigal, raven-haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I know thy scent by candlelight Immortal flesh I yearn to share Excite my greed on spattered sheets Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps Nocternity.... She shall come for me A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night And I have ridden from the westerning light To expend my lust Tear away the funereal dress Know that I will escape from my death Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress Lo! The pale moonlight Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline Of mist and moth and the hunger inside Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise "Through twilight, darkness and moonrise My scarlet tears will run As stolen blood and whispered love Of fantasies undone" Countess swathed in ebony And snow-white balletic grace Ruby lips procure the wish For dusk and her embrace Dusk and her embrace We shall flit through the shadows, Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow Consumed with ardour A romance that ever unfolds Beneath the stars death bedevils me "Beneath the stars taste the death in me" Evil is a fiery wish to sever thin mortality The candlelight flickers Under the deadly nightshade Together insane Screaming through nails of pain Elizabeth My heart is thine Thy fragrant words Warm within like wine.... "Sexual dusk allure With asphodel eyes Moon-glancing maleficia Enflame the tides" And I will come, as if in dream My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen, Of noble love fatale An eager guillotine Erishkigal, raven-haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I know thy scent by candlelight Immortal flesh I yearn to share Excite my greed on spattered sheets Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps Nocternity, She shall come for me.... Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus The full ebmossomed fog Imparts the night to us....
