Novelty Crosses

Eyes of perfect ivory

Match the sweetest lengths of your neck

I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics

Darwin's proposal

Bouncing back from colored glass

Serpents will guide me to your hull

Slithering between the pews of pearl

I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace

Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked

To run a gloveless finger up

Curvaceous trembling leg

We mustn't wait

The fruits of tragedy we'll taste

I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve

We'll fuck and so create

I'm being strangled by his statue

If only his cold eyes could weep

For these things that shouldn't be

Father, I've been sinning

I've pulled a fast one

The perfect sleight of fate

Goddamn, girl

Like an hourglass I'll invert you

The Higher powers shuddering

At what you have become

The laws of science abandoned

Thrust into purgatory

Mary, you've never looked so tender

I will you statues here

To take a breath of life and look upon

Her virgin skin raised in anticipation

The dark has won

My darkness has won again

[solo]

What is truth?

I cannot yet discern

Kneeling in hope of reprimand

This Father's love shall not within me flow

I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer

How original a sin!

We'll fuck and so create

And burn this planet in our wake

I'm being strangled by his statue

If only his cold eyes could weep

For these things that shouldn't be

Father, I've been sinning

I've pulled a fast one

The perfect sleight of fate

Goddamn, girl

Like an hourglass I'll invert you

The only heaven I will know

Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse

We'll be immortal

A most blessed union of lust

The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails

As we feast of infinity's bust
