Eden-Sweet Devilry

Eden-sweet devilry

Little evil things of beauty

Will you give in to those strange smiles?

Will your heart sink to their faded lullabies?

Painted scenes of mercy

Pretty faces hiding envy

Carnally frozen in after-death style

Eternal virgins in their lovely paradise

Guiltless queens of destiny

Ill-scheming smiling fairies

Have you said your prayers tonight?

Have you fed them with your dreams of holy light?

Never seeking for a treaty

This pale and weak divine army

Will show you their fleshly designs

But shall conceal the taste of their bitter wines

Angel I once was

Blessed and blue

Nothing wrong, nothing true

Open my eyes!

Plus un bruit, c'est la Com�die

Charming verses, masks of pity

Feathery glimpses, voice of pure delight

Always their real eyes remain blind and out of sight

Eden-sweet devilry

Little evil things of beauty

I won't give in to those strange smiles

My heart won't sink to their faded lullabies

Back with you I roam

My wings turned black

Your faithless world is my home

And now these creatures make me laugh

Their pain unknown

There'll be no hope when I'm gone

Embrace my path
