Christabel's Journey

Man of ivory skin
You could have had everything
For the morningstar alone
Oh fallen one
I will follow you in
Neath the earth where you keep your sin
No whores of babylon
Wakes your lust

I have seen your desire
You cast your own shadow now
In a river of despair
You wallow
You took the taste from my lips
With a grin and then thrown aside
All the urges you restrain
Uncovered

The taste of you was all i had
The grace of you, the chime in every step you take
The death of men, all weak of heart
But i will always be there for you
I'll give you life and pull you down
Way down to where i lay
Patiently awating zest
My pain be kept inside forever more
I have failed. my tears prevailed
And now i crave for you to cover me
With your warmth, your loins and breast
The final test
You love was all i wanted

Man of ivory skin
Since you reek of the filth of him
I cannot touch you now
Oh fallen one

Come hither that i may
See you once more my lover
In chains, your servant
I'll gather the fallen stars for you
Is this your best excuse
No more in the eyes of your lord, a woman
You have stained yourself with me
And kissed me in blackest horror

I shall give your soul back to you now
For all you may have suffered by my hands
I'll capture all your demons and put them down to sleep
Like swarms of tiny insects crushed beneath your feet
And skip over stones and pebbles and nightmarish fiends
To the place where we lay together and shared in your heat
Once there i'll choke the fire that burns deep within me
And give you lord of liars a final forbidden treat

Christabel, where are you now?
Please return to me from the mist.
You skip over stones and pebbles and nightmarish fiends
To the place where we lay together and shared in my heat
Once there you'll choke the fire that burns deep in me
And give me, lord of liars, forbidden treats

The taste of you was all i had
The grace of you, the chime in every step you take
The death of men, all weak of heart
But i will always be there for you
I'll give you life and pull you down
Way down to where i lay
Patiently awating zest
My pain be kept inside forever more
I have failed. my tears prevailed
And now i crave for you to cover me
With your warmth, your loins and breast
The final test
Your lust is all i want
