Paint Me as a Dead Soul |
| Paint me as a dead soul |
| With a halo of black joy |
| Medusa in a mirror |
| Etched out in acid |
| The flesh, the image, the reflection |
| One who dwells in scarlet darkness |
| Like animals in palaces |
| Drawing blood |
| The flesh, the image, the reflection |
| Let’s complete the illusion |
| Paint me as you see me |
| From memory or history |
| In a fever or a frenzy |
| Paint your lucid dreams and visions |
| In a chamber of nightmares |
| In a temple of locusts |
| So violent, vile and vivid |
| May the colours make you fearful |
| Blind and hypnotizing |
| In our subterranean heaven |
| Paint my cunt with dragonflies |
| My eyes as bright as diamonds |
| My heart open like an ulcer |
| Or a sacred crimson rose |
| Bathed in blood |
| Or drowning in my bed |
| With the fragrance from the flowers |
| In the gardens of the dead |
| Paint ghostly foxes, cats and camels |
| A red dog and a black dog |
| Paint a putrid sunset |
| In verdigris and violet |
| Ochre, amber, mauve |
| Four monks |
| Carrying a goat |
| Over the snows |
| To nowhere |
| And paint the shades |
| That come with evening |
| Peacock angels |
| Dream of leaving |
| Paint me as you see me |
| Paint me as I see me |
| Paint me as a dead soul |
