LYRICS

                              
(Burning Flesh, Dripping Sweat
                              
Unison, Like A Paralysed Snake
                                           
Charmed And Enchanted By The Babalon Whore)

                       
Led to the other worlds
                              
By the girls she curled within
                             
I took their skins to see her
                      
Be my, Be my mannequin

               
Be my mannequin

                 
I cannot remember
                            
How it was that we first met
                                   
Curve of the moon and haunted shore
                                    
The stars were not those heaven sent

                    
Did we come together
                        
At masked palatial balls
                              
In silks and flesh and leather
                      
Or did we come at all?
                          
I dreamt a midnight castle
                        
The eerie song of wolves
                              
And eyes that danced with fire
                         
As they have forever more

                
Our rites of sin
                         
Have long fathered a hymm
             
To burden him
                          
Whom by slip of after-whim
          
At genesis
                         
Dressed her like the wind
               
In autumn gowns
                    
That pinned her down
                         
To be my, Be my mannequin

               
Be my mannequin

                       
Always poised on winter
                         
But never would she break
                                  
My lovecraft and black witch heart
                        
That pounded in her wake

                              
We kissed on distant balconies
                  
A law unto her own
                           
Thirteenth dark commandment
                           
Of figures pressed to stone
                            
Turning cream with fantasies
                         
That god alone would know
                        
We graced the vomitorium
                             
With the sweet excess of Rome

                    
Flagrant in the past
                            
Our names were deeply carved
                                
On the tree of life in long dead
         
Languages

                   
Led to other worlds
                              
By the girls she curled wihtin
                             
I took their skins to see her
                      
Be my, Be my mannequin

               
Be my mannequin

                              
I tongued the nuns at Louviers
                          
But not one word possessed
                              
Her devine right, an archetype
                     
For mortal Goddess...
