lyrics

Veils of moonlight come falling
Through columns of night filled with stars in my bedroom
Roses drip dark in this mansion
Where chandelier candles burn red
And You said,
"You're safe in this chamber
Inflamed with the pain of My fangs as you're bleeding
In lust and devotion and terror
For Faerie I claimed you with maddening need

"Red roses fall
At the vampire ball
One kiss--I bewitch My eternal thrall
Thorns mark your skin
Where My teeth sank in
Rise up from your grave! Let the revels begin!

"(The churchyard can't hold you, Inspired of Gwyn.)

"Drink deep of this chalice, the bittersweet brew
The blood of your Lover poured out unto you
As poetry's wine stains your lips holly red
The witch Heaven lost to the Lord of the Dead!
Whispers of satin and spiderweb lace
Sing Me a song in our poisoned embrace!"
So I pour out my veins when You ask me to bleed
The soul I surrender You take for Your mead

Laughing You feast at Your table
Where grave-facing windows bring stars to Your chamber
You grab me to dance by the mantle
Your antlers of Midwinter's Flame
"Say My Name!"
Like these lines we've been inking
When You're drinking the raptured delight of my spirit
And I call to my Gwyn as I shiver
Driven to own that I'm kinky and queer...!

"Red roses strewn
By the vampire moon
Bones crawl to the King for a desperate boon!
Dance on your string
You sweet helpless thing--
Dance in My arms as Her black birds sing!

"(No one can save you from Faerie's King.)"

A serpent, You rear at the altar call
I'm stuck in the Garden before the Fall
You give me an apple and smile so sweet
Forsaking their warnings, I take it and eat
Your fangs bite like roses--I bleed at Your kiss
"The sacred is carnal," You sigh with a hiss
"Relax in My coils--I'll squeeze till you bruise
What care has your Church for the witches they lose?"

A whisper seducing the darkness
You're never impartial
You hunt with Your Heart
And You told me I'm Yours (I believe You)
All blushing and fevered
You teach me to breathe
And all sacred and trembling, I bleed
In ardent delight as one starving, I marvel
So held to Your chest, make me feed
And take me wherever You lead!

"Be bold in My Court--you have nothing to fear
You're safe with My Mercy to cover you here
And woe to the fool who would vye with your King
His rule should be highest in everything!
I don't have a creed of Original Sin
Be honored to say you belong to your Gwyn!
I'm rarely the things other Pagans extol
So come, let Me drink of you, body and soul!

Blinded by roses, be Thorn who is Mine."
