Imp of the Perverse |
| Death by a visitation from God |
| Death by a visitation from God |
| I am shadow |
| Things material and spiritual |
| Maternal |
| Can be heavy |
| Suffocating |
| There are seven iron lamps |
| Which illumine our senses |
| Seven knives |
| Seven iron lamps to illumine our senses |
| And seven bells to celebrate the resurrection |
| Two marble balls in a sack |
| One long and slender candle |
| One mouth |
| Two reckonings |
| Consternation and treachery |
| Are you listening |
| Are you listening to me |
| Are you paying attention to me |
| I am shadow |
| Seven iron lamps |
| Seven oboes |
| Two small balls |
| And one tiny candle |
| Tiny candle |
| One pathetic flame |
| Embers dying |
| Dying |
| Five creatures from the monolith |
| Seven whispers from the catacombs |
| Five and seven numbing mumbling speeches |
| Are you listening |
| I am drawn to do what I should not |
| Guilty, guilty, guilty guilty |
| No, no, never never no |
| Seven mornings |
| Thirteen moons |
| Five wolves |
| One silk spread morning |
| Seven bells for seven senses |
| Each one lusting lusting |
| Guiltily |
| Two milk fed glands ripe and red tipped |
| Are you listening my little mouse |
| Each sense ripped from its bodice |
| Each gland primed to its overflow |
| Do you hear me my little mouse man |
| Do you hear me little cock |
| Semen |
| Are you listening |
| My little tumescence smear |
| Ligeia |
| I stand on the edge and am drawn to it |
| Guilt |
| I am shadow |
