Black Dahlia Murder, The – Novelty Crosses

eyes of perfect ivory

match the sweetest lengths of her neck

I am but a stain to such holy fabrics

darwin’s proposals bouncing back

from colored glass

serpents will guide me to your hull

slithering between the pews of pearl

and 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 should not 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!

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 should not 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 coat-tails as we feast of infinities bust
