| Lighting forked like a bifurcate tongue
|
| Flickers on this wicked little pandemonium
|
| Theatrical the courted orchestra ripples
|
| The tumult of the skies is alive and highly verbal
|
| It plays for mass destruction
|
| Frightening the sight of darksome banners on the wind
|
| Tumulus the cumulus is drub of us begins
|
| A glavanting army of tsunami-like decrees
|
| Trees are edging backwards I am lost to reverie
|
| I was contemplating the fate to undress
|
| Tonight is the night for the hands of doom to caress
|
| This eve is enwreathed with sensation
|
| My carriage appears like a fright through the storm
|
| A bell from a distante church tolling forlorn
|
| Thrash our a tortuous path until dawn
|
| Oh, the viciousness of this parade
|
| The heavens has lit so exquisite a stage
|
| I sense the stars up in arms
|
| Their mercurial charms
|
| Incensed by the liveried curtain
|
| And hence my journey pockmarked
|
| By the Stygian dark
|
| Is intense and delivered uncertain
|
| This eve is in league with clation
|
| As a gatehouse awaits in a shadowy ice
|
| The foul tempest howls and then suddenly
|
| Falls as silent as skulls set in lost ossuaries
|
| Passed under the shrouded arches
|
| The moon spills twixt clouded branches
|
| Fixed aslant the hill
|
| To the foot of the catafalque manor
|
| Silvered thus, it extends a glamour
|
| Like Cinderella bared to dare enamor
|
| My inner gothic thrilled
|
| Exotic guests, coalesced embark
|
| (Espied through windows on the park)
|
| To arrest my villainous heart
|
| For it is amiss yet yearning still…
|
| I pervade the ball
|
| And glide amidst rich animals
|
| So beautiful their prideful litters
|
| Underneath chandeliers that glitters
|
| Sanguine delights
|
| In bright Victoriana
|
| A nirvana life bedights
|
| In light of this I commend the
|
| Host for his regalities
|
| A toast I thus engender
|
| But now in a forest of glasses raised
|
| And gazes held
|
| I spy a face whose spell
|
| One would race through blazing hell for
|
| I must confess
|
| I came here for the game
|
| For the scent of death
|
| But never did I foresee heaven torn asunder
|
| By a seraph who would steal its thunder
|
| My ardor awakend is taken by force
|
| I ask for a dance a chance for discourse
|
| She bats me a glance and love strikes like a scorpions…
|
| We play for mass corruption
|
| She waits contemplating her fate to address
|
| Tonight is the night for the hands of doom to caress
|
| This eve is besieged by temptations
|
| The flames in her eyes catch this mud butterflies
|
| They burst into blossoms well-versed to imply
|
| This girl, non pareil is a nymph in disguise
|
| Oh the viciousness of this parade
|
| The heavens have lit so exquisite a stage
|
| We pass through the throng
|
| Heedless and headlong
|
| Possessed by the gathering maelstrom
|
| By her talents impressed
|
| And the swell of her breast
|
| Obsessed I am halfway to hell gone
|
| This eve is enwreathed in sensation
|
| As the tempest renews in the turbulent heights
|
| We fake our excuses soon to take flight
|
| Forever to wake and remember this night
|
| The night at catafalque manor |
