Momus - Madame de Sade lyrics

Sensual to the point of fanaticism Extreme in everything With a perverse erotic imagination The Like of which has never been seen Imperious, choleric, irascible Madame de Sade is my name Take me as I am For I shall not change! Moonlight fantasia Nocturne of silk Azure eternity Pleasure and guilt Violence and beauty Eclipse of the sun Obsession What a piece of work is a man A witty mind once put it thus: Why struggle to understand What you can penetrate... with a thrust I who have been happy since indulging in these crimes Callous to others' pain became indifferent to my own Shall suffer the torture gladly With which human vengeance goads me Shall climb the steps of the scaffold As to a throne of glory Moonlight fantasia Nocturne of silk Azure eternity Pleasure and guilt Violence and beauty Eclipse of the sun Obsession
