Anguish Sublime - Among The Raven Skies lyrics

rate me

When the twilight's scent fulfilled my breath<br />

And the bleeding sun in agony deceased<br />

Fearful eclipse replaced the light<br />

Only her beauty was enchantingly bright<br />

<br />

Like bewitched angels in trance<br />

Even the shadows bowed to serve<br />

For not even their grandiose darkness<br />

Could not smother the flame of her verve<br />

<br />

Through her cadaverous fancy I swept<br />

As on the somber sky the full moon wept<br />

Before her spells on my knees I fell<br />

Condemned in bleakest depths to dwell<br />

<br />

"Oh, raven-eyed enchantress, <br />

Let thy lips adhere unto mine!"<br />

In her seductive powers entwined<br />

Her malice I could not divine<br />

<br />

In silky ethereal bosom she drowned the fairy light<br />

That stirred the lewd desire in my lost dreary sight<br />

<br />

The darkness fell and she threw the spell<br />

Upon my moonlit skies<br />

So deep was her kiss, as the fevered bliss<br />

That burned in my glistening eyes<br />

<br />

The dimmest shadows crooned<br />

And the pleasure flared behind her disguise<br />

As fierce as the wanton desire<br />

That glowed between her thighs<br />

<br />

Grotesque silhouettes danced<br />

In the night filled with such narcotic grace<br />

I sunk in her glamorous fondness<br />

Then she vanished without a trace<br />

<br />

No fairness shone in her eyes<br />

When she like death appeared again<br />

Then at last I realized... <br />

But my soul crept down agonized<br />

<br />

"Art thou pleased, Spectral Queen?<br />

I drew up thy illusion's crown<br />

For I've noticed too late<br />

The nocturnal breed in thy frown."<br />

<br />

The mockery dripped from her lips red as wine<br />

As she gloated me bleed<br />

I knew - her curse became mine<br />

<br />

The ether droned so dismal<br />

As my tears drenched the soil<br />

For her black-feathered wings carried my cries<br />

Among the raven skies
