     Opium

Opium, desire or will?
Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
Subversion, through smoke I foresee
Erotic motions of lesser gods in ectasy
 
Opium, bring me forth another dream
Spawn worlds of flesh and red,
little jewels of atrocity
Opium, I sleep in debauchery
And burn with you
when you burn in Me
 
Opium, we fantasize
as we fuse with your root
You are a strange flower,
we are your strangest fruit
 
Opium, it burns in me and you
Opium, it burns for me and for you
 
"Por isso eu tomo ópio. É um remédio.
Sou um convalescente do Momento.
Moro no rés do chão do Pensamento
E ver passar a vida faz-me tédio."


     Raven Claws

I remember her as a child
 
Raven...on and on with her raven claws
Carving...on and on with her raven claws
 
How she lusts when she remembers
The night of her first blow   
She always wanted to know      
How far could she really go
 
Inflamed, a dead-end room
Seduce to consume
Nightsilence...Vampire...Empire
Statues with open wounds
 
The flavour of poison and moon
Still maturing on her blood
She is not your occasional affair, no!
But eternal love, drop by drop...
 
Raven...on and on with her raven claws
Carving...on and on with her raven claws
 
How daylight hurts when moonlight bites
She juggles with her invisible knife
A black bird senses danger and flies
Gives peace to a tall figure in the dark
 
Little silhouette snakes find
a warm nest behind the door
And whip-tongues and skins
of sisters now gone.
 
Bodyprints cover the velvet floor
Which grows red and red
They know she will hunt and hurt tonight
And they crown her Queen of the Dead.
 
Raven...on and on with her raven claws
Raping...on and on with her raven claws
 
Will she weep for them or whip them once again?


     Ruin & Misery

In each of your failures
I saw my victory
And each time you fall
A knife tattoos a smile
On my lips
You are now empty of life
And we are drunk with death

Ruin & Misery
 
I can offer you a hand
To help you hold the dagger
A perfect jewel for
Our perfect end
 
And as we lay, we kissed
Fingers wet with poison
Thinking to each one 
There is beauty in death
 
Raw models
Ruin & Misery
 
Allow me to doubt
We were lovers who could really share
The only love between us
Was hate
 
Without hope we could not fear
And silently we disappeared
Hand in hand, we took our lives
And together stopped being
