The Black Dahlia Murder - Novelty Crosses lyrics

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 gla** 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 f** 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 hourgla** 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 f** 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 hourgla** I'll invert you The only heaven I will know Is heaving 'neath the bu*tons 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
