Chants of Maldoror

The Innocents

Chants of Maldoror


Bless other killings, love your butcher 
And crawl into the grave! 
One by One, One by One 
We'll fall into the blame! 
Look in this perfect grace the fall 
Of these burning skies: 
You'll never see anything 
You'll never see anything as 
…when we are innocents! 
…when we are innocents! 
Rose-Garden in flames: 
Another dream of glory dead 
Let the children learn the evil, 
Condemn them, so, for this… 
One by One, One by One 
They fall into the blame! 
Look in this perfect grace the fall 
Of the burning skies: 
You'll never see anything 
You'll never see anything as 
…when we are innocents! 
…when we are innocents! 
You starving child 
Take off your eyes 
On our altar of the Faith! 
You smiling child 
Take off your eyes 
'cause in essence… 
We are innocents! 
We are innocents! 
Holiness keepers grease steel arms 
Foretasting heavenly gifts… 
Once more pain 
Once more shame 
Celebrations of your defeat 
Look in this perfect grace the fall 
Of the darkened skies 
And, so, put out your innocence 
Oh, we are innocents! 
Oh, we are innocents! 
You, starving child 
Take off your eyes 
On our altar of the Faith! 
You smiling child 
Take off your eyes 
'cause in essence… 
We are innocents! 
We are innocents!
