Withering Surface
Scarlett Silhouettes




1. Scarlet Silhouettes

Fitful, demonical, subdued

Rising of Lucifer's wave
A silently passing of emotional replacement

Lounging down the avenue of piquant
Furiosly applying our amorous glances

The searchlight of the pistil
Compatible with my loving she hound

Hounds of love we were
Blood hounds in season
True we never were
Broken vow of charity

Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes
Lying in her silk sheets covered in sweat

Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes
An exhibition of luck, I slowly regret

Scarlet, scarlet, scarlet silhouettes
As my prime fills her camisole I wish we never met

Seeing into the eyes of the bewitched
All left are the scars it made


2. Beautybeast

Like rings in the water
Lethargic drifting apart
Never reaching shore
Longingforever more

Unperceived our crimson beauty
Lurks into a vehement chasm
The tide reveals the beast

The beautybeast - is haunting me
The beautybeast - takes control
The beautybeast - is haunting me
The beautybeast - takes my soul

Beauty, the beautybeast

Frantic as my heroine
Secludes her sinister deeds
Platacatory she avoids
What now is her deceit

I raise my fist to the sky
And swear my hunger for revenge will never die

My faith in you is decerpit
Never will I repress your defamatory deceit

Like leaves in autumn trees
Lethargic drifting apart
Withering, soon sour
Longing forever more


3. A Lily White Sign

She always has been
Priveleged as queen
Enchanted by her inner screen

Frailty thy name is female
In hymns she blooms
A queen so pale

Hordes f male forth she brings
Under her fragrant wings
In her shrinking heart
Shadows dance fatigueous
With the vetebra of poison

A Lily white sign...


4. ...And She Blossomed

The lighting tears of she who arose
From the glow of the sunset
An auricular confession
Where her colossal lust is forged

Into a blazingspark
A spark which soon sets
Free her ardent genitals

As soft as velvet
As sweet as honey
As beautyful as the virginal scent of her

Her scarlet abdornen
Finer than silk
A vestige of heaven
Her ardent genitals invite me in

On the confessional
Thenectar of our orgasm
Runs down her tights
Covering the face of Christ - Jesus Christ


5. Majestic Mistress

Penetrating your lips of delight
Venus, await me

Majestic mistress
Majestic, the wounds
The wounds inside

I... I transcend the ironic bounty of you

Engraving our lecherous lust
To the perverse fervour
Obtained by our deep passion

Entangled in each others souls

Majestic mistress
Majestic, I found
The princely journey
Majestic, I found
The grateful learning

Majestic mistress
Majestic, the wounds
The wounds wide open
Majestic, the wounds
Blood runs unspoken


6. Farewell

We were so close together
Like being born again
Now everything is withered
My dream is gone

Farewell, my love

I will no longer hide
This constant fear inside
I will no longer hide
This constant pain inside
Whispers from below
Darkness fills my eyes
My dream is forsaken
A victim of your demise

I thought we were close together
How could I be so naive
Now everything is withered
I vanish in grief


7. Behind The Other Side

Behind the other side
Crossing the border to Neverland, I am lost
Behind, behind the other side
Inescapable, inexcusable
I am lost behind

Went through the deepest rivers
Climbed the highest mountains
Swore to be faithful, the most faithful
Succumbed the ancient spirit
And stranded in eternity

Let the wind carry me above
Let the stars show me the way
Let the moon protect me

Hiding in the shadows
Afraid to see the light
My pale reflections
Finally out of sight

Integration, condemned to be
Without communication
Let my body into nothingness

Now I lie here restless
I can only I'd been thinking
Oh, God, take my soul away

My thoughts are in circles
Only one thing on my mind
I could have made it happen
I scream and say goodbye


8. Pitiful Emblems

Pitful emblems
Stillstanding, lonely, wounded

Odious I feel towards my pitful emblems
My disgust grows as I foresee
Sowing my shell with enough courage
As I understand

Pitful emblems
Stillstanding, lonely
Wounded in my soul
Pitful emblems

To evade my frame mind
Like colourful illustrations
Seen with the eyes of a blind man

The quiet light
The tender illustrations
The dreadful, hidden emotion

The quiet light
I know so well
From before, hiding is not possible


9. Your Shadow, My Shelter

I cry for love and seek shelter
For my bewildering mind
Only your shadow can prevent
My soul from fading away
My veins will burst

I fade away at your scent
Surrounds my senses
I'll break your spell
You are my shelter

There's a shadow hanging over me
As flowers wither
The shadows takes my hand
And I find shelter

Me from fading away
Into the nightfall eclipse
With your beautyful scent
Surrounding my senses

I - I cry
For the lust that you give
I - I cry
For the love that you give
Away - in blasphemy
I take control
