An Archangel in bondage
   Bediademed, souled
   With a murder of ravens
   But no less Astarte to behold
   Abandoned by Heaven
   To the dead, dark and past
   Cast Her dispersions
   On life's brittle glass
  
   And though Her eyes still held fire
   As stonewalls caged the beast
   'Gainst the lassitudes of Death
   She fought but fell to greet
   And midst lies in collusion
   She was martyred to teach
   That "Divinity and Lust
   Are forever forbidden to meet"
  
   But I swore that they would
   Before the veil could part our embrace
   Twixt Her cold, silent hips I kissed
   And promised Christendom in flames
  
   Gravid with madness
   Like a feculent dirge
   That obsesses the heart
   I am covened by words
  
   To avenge Her
   Ebon splendour
   And surrender
   My soul to the dead to achieve
   Prophecies of libidinous scourge
   Horripilation braying o'er carious herds
  
   Vexing nightmares
   And their weak prayers
   To a no one there
   To hinder Her decree
  
   To weed the world of their disease
  
   As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
   The meat that is their congregation
  
   How they plead to the skies
   But this is mere foreplay to war
  
   Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal
   Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest
   A psychophant, the despoiler of faith
   Now His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese
  
   For Her interred
   I tore a battle banner from His hide
   Splashed in red goetia
   Hues of Hell and deicide
   So came the night
   Its obsidian light
   Is a master whom disasters
   Suck upon like concubines
   And under black skirts
   That whisper of delight
   Darkseeds near fruition
   Darked deeds to marry mine
  
   "In Death's bed I have lain
   Paying lip-service to shame
   But for dreaming of thee I regain
   A reason to seek life again"
  
   Then we smite the divine
   For our true nature is sin
   To strip tender flesh from these swine
   Like the lick of carnivorous winds
  
   The breath of the storm that begins
   By forcing it's Herod tongue in
   The womb of the holy virgin
   To taste of immaculate sin
  
   From temptation's peak we will see
   The world unfurled at last
   Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind
   Shall be as one in grim repast
  
   Commemorating sickle moons
   The pack are poised to reap
   A scythe of white roses in bloom
   Whose twisted thorns will keep
   A crown upon a dead man
   Daylights crucified in sleep
   And lives that hide in scriptured lies
   To the memories of a scream
  
   And we shall dance amid the ruin
   As Adam and Evil
   Dizzy at the falling stars
   That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval
  
   If all must we damn for this moment
   Then it shall be so
   For our souls have crossed oceans of time
   To clasp one another more tightly
   Than Death could alone...
  
   As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl
   The talons of lust rake a clarion call
   To the lick of carnivorous winds
  
   The lick of carnivorous winds
