Vamps

The setting sun awakens their kind,
A morbid beauty, ethereal, eternal,
The coffin opens as the night falls
To utter prayers from a darkest hymnal,
Invited in to intimate sites,
A boudoir scene, a sanguine tableau,
Riding the fog, a hastened flight
To castled to chambers unknown,
Velvet rustle in the darkness,
Eerie glisten of white fangs,
Batwing flutters, ebon tempest
To slake and feed these bloody pangs,
In search of prey,
A virginal neck,
They navigate by ancient stars,
Mesmerized by elegant eyes,
Tethered throats to ancient scars,
By moonlight's glint, an eldritch feast,
Imbibed delights of crimson fancy,
At sunrise flee where vampires rest,
Atop the soil of their dread country,
Velvet rustle in the darkness,
Eerie glisten of white fangs,
Batwing flutters, ebon tempest
To slake and feed these bloody pangs,

Cameo Dread
02:51
|
|||
|
Lullabies are muted.
Deft fingers stroke on velveteen
Dust-filled thoughts at shrouded shrines
Sordid prayers of sweet release,
Lamplight glow, the less we know,
An eidolon bereft of gauzy dream,
Pressed close, pushed free,
No policy,
The hard light glare of gasping air,
These hands gone numb, moments that come,
Spit-slicked verbose in foreign tongue,
Languish here forever more
By cigarette's kiss, parched lips that feign,
Passed over tombs,
Inhale the gasp, sour breath and stains,
Pull apart sick eyes and teeth,
Cameo dread and exquisite pain,
Pressed close, pushed free,
No policy,
The hard light glare of gasping air,
These hands gone numb, moments that come,
Spit-slicked verbose in foreign tongue,
Tactos sutiles,
Entre desvelos y calor,
Tiernos parajes,
A fuego lento en desamor,
Tiempos de lluvias
En tu garganta y mi ardor

Las tinieblas son un hogar, ahí descansan estos sueños,
entre plegarias sin orar, y corazones sin dueños,
porque nos esconde el velo, de cordura, de sobriedad,
y ya mordi tu anzuelo, con sabor a este animal,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Turned to dross, turned to dross,
Sigo sucio en esta alcoba, nunca limpio entre tus paredes,
de noche y a esta hora, sólo espero a que tú me lleves
hasta el fondo de un vaso, ahí alcanzo a ver los clavos
enterrados en mi costado, en un nicho para tus manos,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Turned to dross, turned to dross,
En los ensueños que armé, saboreo el dulce vino
Que chorrea sobre tus pies y quiero ser tu testigo,
Hay una tumba en mi panza que se hincha de calores,
Y mi corazón una mancha que emana estos olores,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Your heart will be broken
All these pieces grasped and lost,
in the darkness, in the open,
All these pieces turned to dross,
Turned to dross, turned to dross

Just give it time,
Oh, accept this futility,
Of a nothing where
Roots are rotted and diseased,
I place my hands onto that shelf
Above a key kept afar,
Green glass shuttered, the dove has flown,
Hiding hearts washed in tar,
Swaying in time, swaying in time,
Words soaked in brine, filling my mind,
Words soaked in brine lacking in rhyme,
This thirst pervades,
Words unformed in night's decay,
A tired hand fleeting fast,
Rancid thoughts kept at bay,
I call the stars, the myriad eyes,
Watching the film, spoiled and torn,
Evening's dead, a ghost parade,
Ashes fall, wanton forlorn,
Swaying in time, swaying in time,
Words soaked in brine, filling my mind,
Words soaked in brind lacking in rhyme,
Inhale the dread,
I long to trace the rosy paths,
A dream of that snowy place,
Frostbitten tongue that's soothed in baths,
The reverie is locked away
To an oubliette of mud and lye
Among the bones,
Broken by teeth displayed awry,
Swaying in time, swaying in time,
Words soaked in brine, filling my mind,
Words soaked in brind lacking in rhyme,

Rock River

A roseate specter hangs out in corners,
Reveries of bliss and untainted breath,
The sand's long turned to brittle glass here
Through the furnace of this crimson death,
Brittle mirrors harken those languid faces,
Moribund sensations down an old well,
The ticking of clocks broken by despair,
The ticking of these old clocks that'll never tell,
The stars go out one by one,
No warmth inside from a long-dead sun,
The stars go out one by one,
No warmth inside from a long-dead sun,
No sun,
I follow the bank along this river,
My place to drown thoughts beneath the ice,
Free my torpid gaze towards the soothing waves,
Gently lapping, kissing, softly break the ice,
The smell of winter drawing ever nigh
Greets my anxious nose like the scent of drear,
Like a sultry scent coming from the dark,
Such a ghastly lover, such a ghastly dear,
The stars go out one by one,
No warmth inside from a long-dead sun,
The stars go out one by one,
No warmth inside from a long-dead sun,
No sun,
My blood howls and bays at a starlit altar,
Under the velvet night where frozen voices play,
Carried on the current beside jolly trash
Bled gossamer hearts, shredded. loved and flayed,
Part the waters, spill and bleed,
Open leaves to you and me,
Part the waters, spill and bleed,
Open leaves to you and me,
Part the waters, kill the need,
I'll fall asleep,
Part the waters, spill and bleed,
Open leaves to you and me,
Part the waters, spill and bleed,
Open leaves to you and me,
Part the waters, kill the need,
I'll fall asleep,

Witches

Walking in the forest, the path in the moonlight pale,
Towards the circle, black mass, where they dance and wail,
They look up at skies containing eerie mystery,
Opened by rites and spells writ in ecstasy,
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,
Broomsticks and bare flesh, the call to a delicious life,
Sabbaths in darkness so eldritch, devoted to night,
Potions they steep from grimoires from their hallowed tomes,
The stars are witness to acts coven-kept unknown,
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,
The dawn in the wood finds naught but ash and blood,
No trace of maidens, old crones, in the pungent mud,
Cat tracks and owl’s breath, wild herbs, scent of sweat so sweet
Lingers on cool air, wet soil, tramped by unshod feet
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,
Naked figures in the shadows of the flames,
Writhing, riding the many names,

Dream
03:22

Fragrant dew and wet, dark earth
On an island of green,
Footsteps at dawn,
'Tis black this sea,
An empty house behind
And shadows watch beneath the sun,
Blood on a bone loom
Where my dream is spun,
I'm losing my home,
I'm losing my home,
The path I knew is tread no more,
The silence tells a fell good-bye
As I descend that hill,
A dread relief, a sutured dream
As I descend that hill,
Jet waters so still,
Filthy heat in hide-bound art,
Pure journey through the pines.
My cracked visage askance
To gray, unsullied skies,
I'm losing my home,
I'm losing my home,
The path I knew is tread no more,
The stones, the sand, a gelid touch
From shores as lips that welcome,
Black crag heart that beacons sleep,
It cleft the toes and felt them,
The stones, the sand, a gelid touch
From shores as lips that welcome,
Black crag heart that beacons sleep,
It cleft the toes and felt them,
I'm losing my home,
I'm losing my home,
The path I knew is tread no more,

Es la idea la que me mata con estos dientes,
No soy nada, no soy nadie, no lo intentes,
Lleno de visceras podridas abriendo paso,
Por un abandonado hogar en el ocaso,
No duermo por soñar,
Son tus dedos,
Unos tragos sin tomar,
Que son destellos
En la noche sin velar
Entre tus vellos,
Lejos de tu manjar,
Entre tus senos,
¡Entre tus senos!
Pienso sólo cielo arriba y tú debajo,
Estos momentos ya perdidos a un pasado
Que nunca fueron reales ni fueron míos,
Porque habito en la maleza de tus baldíos,
No duermo por soñar,
Son tus dedos,
Unos tragos sin tomar,
Que son destellos
En la noche sin velar
Entre tus vellos,
Lejos de tu manjar,
Entre tus senos,
¡Entre tus senos!
Mis hambres me consumen, deseo voraz
Por una boca túrgida que pida más,
Siempre ajena y distante de labios muertos,
Un momento en el abismo de nuestros cuerpos,
No duermo por soñar,
Son tus dedos,
Unos tragos sin tomar,
Que son destellos
En la noche sin velar
Entre tus vellos,
Lejos de tu manjar,
Entre tus senos,
¡Entre tus senos!

Sit beside me–Close your eyes,
Count the tears of blood that choked your world,
Beneath the yoke of lies–crushing pride,
Climbing on and on towards a paradise that never was!
Follow me! Hold out your hand, let me show you!
Follow me! Let me reveal what your sad eyes cannot see,
Follow me! Rekindle the flame–of your lost passions,
Follow me! And you will see the chains that you down fall away!
Release yourself from the shame–the guilt, the blame,
A stigma that’s stained through, like dread, like bile, through tongues and time,
Cower no longer in the shadows and fear,
And be free from the burden of this wretched design,
Follow me! Hold out your hand, let me show you!
Follow me! Let me reveal what your sad eyes cannot see,
Follow me! Rekindle the flame–of your lost passions,
Follow me! And you will see the chains that you down fall away!
Follow me! To this moment, to this ecstasy,
Follow me! To this moment, to this ecstasy,
Follow me! Hold out your hand, let me show you!
Follow me! Let me reveal what your sad eyes cannot see,
Follow me! Rekindle the flame–of your lost passions,
Follow me! And you will see the chains that you down fall away!

Revenant's Wine

Ache and agony as I crawl back up
Through the dirk of night's regrets,
The things I've lost down below,
All the glass a corpse forgets,
And as the haze begins to clear
From bloodless flesh I did hold dear,
Once again I've returned,
Keep your eyes on the lights
Of passing cars,
Dream-dead lines passing by
Cut on pretty scars,
This fancy blossoms strange,
Kills plants we fed on mange,
A corpse behind the wheel,
A corpse that's driving this automobile,
My body's wrecked against the rust and dust,
Turgid maggots fed on gall,
Babbled curses become the banished trust
Bent by folly's fall,
And as the haze begins to clear
From bloodless flesh I did hold dear,
Once again I've returned,
Keep your eyes on the lights
Of passing cars,
Dream-dead lines passing by
Cut on pretty scars,
This fancy blossoms strange,
Kills plants we fed on mange,
A corpse behind the wheel,
A corpse that's driving this automobile,
Each time I die I come back worse
Than I ever thought I could,
From deaths I thought I I understood,
From depths that I understood,
And as the haze begins to clear
From bloodless flesh I did hold dear,
Once again I've returned,

I Couldn't Save You
05:26
|

|
I couldn't save you, though I wish
The bifurcation in our paths had missed
Your sad eyes, the fear inside,
Left us hurting, left you to die,
I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,
We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,
We're trapped in simple obligations,
Trust, resources, and discourse,
But the weight of limitations
Compells with greater force,
I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,
We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,
Desire for a different outcome,
Concrete jaws, another victim,
City bustle, lost in the grime,
Some other place, some other time,
I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,
We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,

Embrace The Ashes
04:11
|

|
Betimes the blood inside,
It cries,
Pulls at the dried parts, sighs,
Frail and crying to the night,
It feeds upon my life
And it tastes like the knife,
Charred by this light,
So broken by design,
Far below, feel sick,
More than before, says shit,
Embrace the ashes
This shell,
A wanton place is not well,
Hurts less,
But never feels the best,
I'm poking at this mess
Between the nude and dress,
A silver-backed accomplice,
A failure, test by test,
I'm culled in the darkness,
My gallows, my behest,
Far below, feel sick,
More than before, says shit,
Embrace the ashes
This shell,
A wanton place is not well,
Far below, feel sick,
More than before, says shit,
Embrace the ashes
This shell,
A wanton place is not well,
Far below, feel sick,
More than before, says shit,
Embrace the ashes
This shell,
A wanton place is not well,

Perversa Ninfa Gris

La cerradura cae de mi soledad,
Nos encobija la noche y un resplandor lunar,
Llegó el final de mis lagrimas,
La córnucopia en tu boca me llega a libera,
Tus ojos son la luz que me llevan a volar
A un mundo visceral
Y es por ti que vuelvo a sentir,
Y es por ti, perversa ninfa gris,
Puedo sentir la seduccion.
Me invade tu ardiente calor,
Perversa ninfa gris,
He ahí un pétalo de mi obscuro corazón,
Latiendo con fuerza y con mi dolor,
El último soplo de mi líbido,
Que surge y se incendia en tu fulgor,
Ya no aguanto más, en el regazo de tu estar,
Tu polvo y suciedad,
Y es por ti que vuelvo a sentir,
Y es por ti, perversa ninfa gris,
Puedo sentir la seduccion.
Me invade tu ardiente calor,
Perversa ninfa gris,
Y es por ti, perversa ninfa gris,
Y es por ti, perversa ninfa gris,
Y es por ti que vuelvo a sentir,
Y es por ti, perversa ninfa gris,
Puedo sentir la seduccion.
Me invade tu ardiente calor,
Perversa ninfa gris,
