Put on the collar of roses, and bite upon the silver chain
Another one will die tonight--you are despicable
Kneel down and lick the bitter drops of love
A blue dressage* performed for the Angels
Within the casket called Myself, my soul yet moves
Torn wings revive in the moonlight and grow wet
More than darkness solitude is to be feared
Under the Cross, let us indulge in the proof of our union
Taking off the rose handcuffs, and holding each others Ewhite wrists
It is the miracle of our embrace--you are beloved
Kneel down and offer the painful words of love
A red arabesque* soaking the bandages*
Even if it's a sin, say that you love me with your forbidden lips
The World is a looming castle, its gates opened by God
In that way I will lead you, and if you fill up my eyes
More gently than anyone call out my name
When that happens you will know the meaning of eternity
Cross the rose rings and tie the leather ribbon
It's a ball held in the Room of Mirrors--everything is maddening
Go astray and be enlightened in the history of turning love
A black marriage decorated with tears
I hate lies--tell me you love me with chaste lips
Put on the collar of roses, and bite upon the silver chain
Another one will die tonight--you are despicable
Kneel down and lick the bitter drops of love
A blue dressage performed for the Angels
Taking off the rose handcuffs, and holding each others Ewhite wrists
It is the miracle of our embrace--you are beloved
Kneel down and offer the painful words of love
A red arabesque soaking the bandages
Say that you truly love me with a pure kiss!
