lyrics

Cold is her flesh to the touch
As death is the scent of desire
And black were the acts of the art
When I stole her body from the pyre

This is not some unholy transgression
These are just the labors of my passion

Lusting for the Dead is an art form

Under the traitors moon
Lying here next to you
Trying to produce
A working from the witches womb

This night I’ll be here amongst the copulating dead
And this time I’ll see it all the way through to the end
As the sun doth not shine its light upon these unhallowed grounds
In darkness I lie here amongst the lovers that I have found

Severing the final strings of my humanity
Upon the altar of the severed queen, I lay this offering of self down

As I transcend the confines of my skin
Under a moon as black as my sin
(whisper baby I love you)

This night I’ll be here amongst the copulating dead
And this time I’ll see it all the way through to the end
As the sun doth not shine its light upon these unhallowed grounds
In darkness I lie here amongst the lovers I have now
