I spy the spreading fear That crawls wormlike beneath This aging mask of time That grasps to call itself belief So down here in the valley of the shadow of d**h To the best denomination I have taken her soul To show just what faith-tested means Never seen the sun Never been undone Never thought her feeble screams Would court such fascination Never in a thousand years I am the lord of the bored underworld Her hand is pleasured in mine Together we will climb Past the pearly castellations A wealth of treasures to find We’ll fly crows of ill-omen Across a leaden sky To red squares of holy roman Catholicism in an eye To deeply sow where sorrow rose Having all tomorrows For our wedded union to impose The world in misery succumbs to frost Without her here I’m lost The seasons absorb the cost Together our paths are crossed Eros and thanatos One by one Love’s raised horns sound their sweet surrender And one by one Her defences fall, debris My will be done I shall storm the gates where fates defend her And once I’ve won Her heart will belong to me I saw her there Gathering despair By the light of the moon On the vale of Nysa
