Nymphetamine (overdose)

Cradle Of Filth

Evanescent like the scent of decay

I was fading from the race

When, in despair, my darkest days

Ran amok and forged Her face

From the fairest of handmaidens to

A slick perverted wraith



Nymphetamine



Heaving midst narcissus

On a maledict blanket of stars

She was all three wishes

Sex, sex, sex



A lover hung on her deathrow

I was hooked on Her disease

Highly strung like Cupid's bow

Whose arrows hungered meat

And the blinding flare of passion

In the shade of narrow streets

Where their poison never rationed

All the tips they left in me



Two tracks

Bric-a-brac

Something passed between us

Like a bad crack

Upward-lit

I'd met another kind



Of rat

In fact

With every Rome inside

Licked and ransacked...

She haunted at the corners of my mind



In black

Cataracts

Wouldn't whitewash away

Her filthy smoke stack

She burnt me like a furnace

For my future suicide



Lead to the river

Midsummer, I waved

A V of black swans

On with hope to the grave

And through Red September

With skies fire-paved

I begged you appear

Like a thorn for the holy ones



Cold was my soul

Untold was the pain

I faced wen you left me

A rose in the rain...

So I swore to the razor

That never, enchained

Would your dark nails of faith

Be pushed through my veins again



Bared on your tomb

I am prayer for your loneliness

And would you ever soon

Come above unto me?

For once upon a time

From the binds of your lowliness

I could always find

The right slot for your sacred key...



Six feet deep is the incision

In my heart, that barless prison

Discolours all with tunnel vision

Sunsetter...

Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condiion

This lust, this vampyric addiction

To Her alone in full submission

None
