Tanzler 10:59
Days of White Plague Tormented by the rain Remembering her smile, her ways Manic deliberate plans, the only way to save (The rose of Solares Hills) The unforgettable night of the 25th Under the whispering shade of October The catalyst of Death spectre of dreams transformed (die Idee des Gespensts in der Endphase) Two years her body silent Pursed lips within the tomb Each day paying tribute Making plans beneath the moon (I knew what I had to do) Her singing corpses siren beseeched me with song Together forever the promise, even with her lifesblood gone The crypt built of altgeld kept her safe ‘till it was right Until royal wings of red flyer could safely conceal her home through night Washing the dead flesh, reliving that pain Ritualistic maintenance to relish the dance of memories flame Each emesis a treasure, to be saved, savoured and loved Bottled up and honored, inhalation rendering the mind numb (Wafting wisps of a wilted rose) The elysian bonding of two profound souls Mind and body united within the perfection of the mold Bride of perfect silence, a shrine built for a husk Fogs of perfume and incense to mediate the musk Candles left burning, her perfection laid bare Intimacies lacked in life carefully performed within our lair (das Ritual lebt) Criminal by nature, this intricate affair The ignorant babbling of neighbors, those mistrusting stares The morbid confrontation resulting in these chains They parade my majesty like a nightmare for the world What the fools dont realize is her spirit remains Within the confines of this sordid cell I hear her still, remembering her smell She’s with me now always, invoking pleasure and pain Pain from the knowledge that her body eludes my grasp Pleasure in my mental lapse, haunting songs and unknown facts Whisperings permeate me from the grave, my mind the willing host, slave.
