lyrics
The story of my life, passed down in anguished glory
Written from my strife, to future ages smitten
By the cold-dark-loneliness, of my own mistakes....
Draped in rage and heartache!
The sweetest luxuries in this world, are the hardest to be won
Overshadowed by debaucheries
Vices spawned-by-his flawed creation;
The long cast shadows of our own temptations
With cold eyes I feel you, while the consul spies at us through the keyhole
In the night the libertine undresses me, forsaken vows, as sirens sing a bawd soliloquy
Rococo art and gilded halls
“An eternal, hollow song….”
A trance of divine-eloquence
For an audience hidden in the walls
In this world there is no such thing as destiny
“As we search in place for our own….”
Divine, everlasting-ecstasy
A pursuit for sublime, melodic harmonies
Mechanical mistress, dance of death, an affair for the restless
At the court, competition for potency, drunken games and grandiloquent poetry
Alone at sea in an unquenched storm
To the heaven’s plea, for hopes long gone
…. Wed to the sea!
…. Wed to the sea!
Masks of adorned illusion
A masquerade of subterfuge and confusion
Devoid never-ending consumption,
The means to our own eternal destruction
Ribald nights, twisted stories!
Lucid dreaming, empty meanings
Climbing the ladder of nobility
Confined to this cage of servility
Wed to the sea! Wed to the sea!
Wed, wed, wed to the sea!
This icy tundra, life is depleted
In this ninth circle, this frozen torment!
