Lyrics

Eyes of perfect ivory
 Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
 I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
 Darwin's proposal
 Bouncing back from colored glass
 Serpents will guide me to your hull
 Slithering between the pews of pearl
 I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
 Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked
 To run a gloveless finger up
 Curvaceous trembling leg
 We mustn't wait
 The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
 I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
 We'll fuck and so create
 I'm being strangled by his statue
 If only his cold eyes could weep
 For these things that shouldn't be
 Father, I've been sinning
 I've pulled a fast one
 The perfect sleight of fate
 Goddamn, girl
 Like an hourglass I'll invert you
 The Higher powers shuddering
 At what you have become
 The laws of science abandoned
 Thrust into purgatory
 Mary, you've never looked so tender
 I will you statues here
 To take a breath of life and look upon
 Her virgin skin raised in anticipation
 The dark has won
 My darkness has won again
 What is truth?
 I cannot yet discern
 Kneeling in hope of reprimand
 This Father's love shall not within me flow
 I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer
 How original a sin!
 We'll fuck and so create
 And burn this planet in our wake
 I'm being strangled by his statue
 If only his cold eyes could weep
 For these things that shouldn't be
 Father, I've been sinning
 I've pulled a fast one
 The perfect sleight of fate
 Goddamn, girl
 Like an hourglass I'll invert you
 The only heaven I will know
 Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse
 We'll be immortal
 A most blessed union of lust
 The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
 As we feast of infinity's bust
