judith reigns supreme

don't ask about my morals
i can't remember them anymore
i knew that when i kissed you;
i knew that it was wrong
it's not that you didn't love her
i was just a body in your bed
when i crept into your camp
and i stole your head
but how much weight would it take
to cut you deep
what's love without pain
i just wanted to make you bleed
feel and hurt again
from the cross around my neck
to the stains upon your sheet
it's not that i didn't love you
and in that moment i did
you gave me the tools to defeat
the tool it took to defeat me

but you came to my part of town
and i couldn't let you away
when i incapacitated you
i left your tongue in the fray

this was a relationship of keep
staring, slaying, you'll be praying
hope you remember where you're staying
killing, chilling, barely moving
leaving kisses on the stairway
driving, harder, mirthless laughter
i'll cut off your head and make you a martyr

refuse thy name

i know that you hold the key
come and sin again,
sin once more with me
we can deny them all
repentance lies in every heart you'll see

lie not with your woman tonight
she has more to hide than me
while she is faking every caress
my faintest touch holds more belief

original sin doesn't exist
you took even that pride from me
you take weight faithfully
i'll give back the honour-
you can have back the keys

consider it a crime of passion
that i don't know what to say
my tongue has run away with untruths
and thrice i let you get away

but you named me thusly
you gave me my name
and in the same breath you tarried me
and gave me away

Jesus, forgive me now
i'm lying little away
you were to flick water in my eyes
but you let me stray
you let me stray

deny thy father

arise my forgiven sinner
shake off thou dewy head
thou eyes art full of regret
enough left to be unsaid
if looks were to speak
spoken truths were then your face
every line and cross'd t
led your saint to make mistake

the clouds that darken

my body has been lifted;
left behind the stairwell
parts of me and all my matter
-lie all bone and sinew
and everything in between
the dark near where you tread
i lay at your feet
as you rise and i descend.
i linger on the stairwell
hear my unearthly cry
can you smell my rotting flesh
-in limbo left to lie
as i lie here in tangled limb
you wont find me brother
but here i am, the forgotten sin
here i am, Body of Another

i am desirous

the soft burr of irresistible things
the heady sway of you that encumbers
you're in the air
I can taste your cotton candy slumber
you hot sugary delight
you lover for a summer night
you dream for a midsummers eve
whining persistant misdeed

your honour

It is but for your honour
that my wandering hands I still
my wandering eye bestows
to know no greater pleasure
to look upon such beauty as your own
