Marc Almond - Crime Of Love lyrics

In an Ecbatana Palace All golds and silks Demonic beauties Adolescent Satans Indulge in every sin To the music of the sea Beautiful feast of the sins Desires shine with brutal fiery light Like hara**ed servants appetites Go round decanting bright red wine Dances floating on wedding song Sway in a long swoon of sobs Man and women sing in great chorales Sing music trembling like the sea So full of deep enchantment In the sweetness of these things Countryside blooms with roses And night is a diamond The loveliest of these bad angel Is aged sixteen and crowned with flowers Arms folded over ruffs and fringes He dreams his eyes ablaze with tears He pays no heed to cavorting His siblings Satans try in vain To lure him out of desolation With a welcome of wide open arms He doesn't fall for the blandishments Distress places its black bu*terfly On that face forever set To burn with anguish and despair
