Le spleen de paris Le confiteor de l’artiste Falling into the abyss Icarus with no bliss The smoke and the ash The lady that never rest Bitter taste of joy In a morbid ploy In a sweet-scented garden A promise for afterlife Fate has now blinded them Rotten hearts may rive The red-lipped guest A corpse beneath my chest Kiss her lips So bittersweet Treasures and pleasures Beyond the grave A tear rips To bite the treat Treasures and pleasures Of unconscious rave Dark nails over him Masquerade with lust within Sweeter than this life Are lips that mesmerize For lydia I shall crawl For lilith I shall fall Seduction overall Hope for the dawn Underneath her chest Dead heart of the guest Kiss her lips So bittersweet Treasures and pleasures Beyond the grave A tear rips To bite the treat Treasures and pleasures Of unconscious rave Vulgar vixen Blood strain Poshlost banality Self-satisfied vulgarity On the eve of the unborn kiss No romance granted to exist Thus conceived was eternal darkness To keep beauty pale lifeless Her red lips now feel the endless cold Radiant youth to forever hold
