Lyrics - Death In Desire's Masquerade by Ancient Ceremony

Death came to me as
Maiden
Death came to me as
Beast
Venus smiled at us that eerie
Autumn
Night
Candlelight
Banquet in
Victorian
Halls enflamed my
Love for
Her
Even
Poet's passionate
Verses were unable to evokea true
Description of such tremendous
Fierceness
Though appearing as sweet
Womansuch a
Beauty could not be human"
Art
Thou my
Destiny?"
Whilst we embraced
Moonlight touched
Thy soft
Lips
Such pale
Skin, as white as purest
Snow
Wind curled
Thy ebony
Hair like
Vipers on
Medusa's
Head
Less the
Horror than the
Grace turned me almost into
Stone
Infected with such idolatrous
Shape my deepest
Dreams came true
These red magic
Eyes, like bleeding
Flowersmade me
Slave to
Her
Erotic
Kisses under whispering
Treeswere my
Foretaste of
Eden
Melancholia's
Fire burnt in highest
Flameswhen
She told me to leave"
Will
Thou be mine again, most sinful of all
Demons?""
Encrimsoned
Fullmoon is the
Signwhen my
Spirit shall cover
Thine
At the eldest
Oak of the
Midnight
Forest
I'll teach
Thee
Secrets buried in
Stoneand by a
Force to
Man unknown
I shall never be alone!"
With blind
Thirst for that doomy
Hour
I wandered through my
Days like (in)
Trances
Tears of
Blood stole from
Moon's
Eyes and were
Omen to me
Bats haunted deep nightly
Woodswhilst we kissed again in fierce
Nocturnal
Embrace
Love-drunken
Slumber led me away from
Mortal's sighing
World"
Awake now to face my real
Countenance!"
Thus to me spake
Azrael in the
Robe of godlike
Beauty"
Hades sent
His loveliest
Angelto grant
Thee
Expiration divine!"
Death came in
Desire's
Masquerade
