The Spawn of Love and War Lyrics

Poets racking absinthe brains
Could never fully paint these nights
No martyr parting from his pain
Could utter words so eruditeAs those she now divulged to me
In throes of passions grip
Indulging latent fantasies
That ran forked tongues along the lipOf fate's pudenda
The twisted snake's agenda
Now the world would bend
To her deadly legacyLife's graveyard was waiting, such dizzying flight
From the convent at all hallows fair
Without contemplating, we fled through the night
Too blood-drunk and cunt-sated to careThe goddess had spoken and woken desire
It crackled in the air around us
A psychic force shimmering like fireAnd on her breasts, that old necklace
The one I snuck from the fucked abbess
Whose dirty little secret, other than me
Now shone with bold intensityVast the power it possessed

The darkness brought to living fleshThis treasure was ancient, taken by force
From an elite caste of priests in Delphi
The Templars were patient, they stayed out the course
Then fleeced their Greek hosts in their sleepThat necklace traversed
Vile murders and miles worse
But what was a curse
To this perverse demoness?Legend swore it was a gift of malice
For the maiden Harmonia
The illegitimate spawn of love arid war
Jealousy made it gleam for herFor with it clasped, her looking glass
Was ever beautiful and young
But disaster choked her royal caste
And every throat on which it hung
There madness, death and horror clungImmortalized in mortal guise
She was a sight for blighted eyes
A plague to gladly plagiarize
And spread like red excited kissesShe was more than me, more than words
Could fulfill in the parlance of the angels
She cast a spell on every cell in my nobody
She gave me back my tongue
That she might run it on herselfShe was Lilith, she was light
I was but a parasite
Beckoned to temptation
In her velvet overtonesThrough frozen antics, dressed in white
She led me into paradise
Neath comets in ovation
Like the Queen of winter thronedPleasures archetypal
Then much rarer agonies
I was a sworn disciple
Of her whims and dark decreesIn Europe's hair
Her spies were everywhere
A sylph amongst
The filthy rich and debonairHer greater plan
All chaos and the all of man
For as she fed dark appetites
She bred her children thereThe spawn of love and war
Presiding over hellfire clubs
Arch-masons and AghartaThe spawn of love and war
She rode the beast, her legs apart
A blazing pyre starterLife's playground elated, such dizzying sights
And sensations ignited her grin
As slaves celebrated her Satanic rites
We climbed up to heaven in sinShe came to me
As she will come to You
Intoxicating in her seduction
Her siren sway, devastating voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodooPersistent, resistance is useless, fool
To this goddess, in lust, she's cruel
Beyond any measure, her pleasures will found
A perverted Eden on sacred groundVast the power, I caressed
The darkness brought to vivid flesh
And in it, she now rules a cowered universe
