Sabaoth - Distress lyrics

rate me

I don't come to conquer your flesh tonight<br />

O beast! <br />

In whom are the sins of the race, nor to stir<br />

In your foul tresses a mournful tempest<br />

Beneath the fatal boredom my kisses pour.<br />

<br />

A heavy sleep without those dreams that creep<br />

Under curtains alien to remorse, I ask of your bed.<br />

<br />

Sleep you can savour after your dark deceits, <br />

You who know more of Nothingness than the dead.<br />

<br />

For Vice, gnawing this inborn nobleness of mine<br />

Marked me, like you, with it's sterility<br />

But shroud-haunted, pale, destroyed, I flee.<br />

<br />

While that heart no tooth of any crime<br />

Can wound lives in your breast of stone<br />

<br />

Frightened of dying while I sleep alone
