Under deadly nightshade
And snow-white balletic grace
Of vengeful, ancient breed
Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps
For lust and her disgrace
Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes
Thy fragrant words warm within like wine
Still warmed with the kill's afterglow
To sever thin mortality
Of mist and moth and the hunger inside
Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline
Nocternity, she shall come for me
Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
Countess swathed in ebony
Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
Ereshkigal, raven-haired
They call as I to thee
Gilded with the pelts of many enemies
Dusk and her embrace
Through twilight, darkness and moon rise
My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen
As stolen blood and whispered love
I can taste thy scent by candlelight
Lo, the pale moonlight
Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night
Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish
Immortal flesh I yearn to share
Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair
My scarlet tears will run
And I will come, as if in dream
Appease the beast on spattered sheets
Erishkigal, raven-haired
Elizabeth, my heart is thine
Let me come to thee
Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me
Surrendered to the splendor of her sharpened caress
Know that I will escape from my death
Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
To writhe under my spell
Moon-glancing, loose desires free
How the full embosomed fog
(Beneath the stars taste the death in me)
To expend my lust, tear away the funereal dress
(Were)
With eyes like Asphodel
Of fantasies undone
Nocternity, she shall come for me
Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus
Appease the beast on spattered sheets
I know thy scent by candlelight
Like a dream of wolves in the snow
And I have ridden from the westerning light
Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise
In adoration of the moon and thee
A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life
Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss
We shall flit through the shadows
