The Masquerader And Phoenix (Phoenix Mix) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Theatre Of Tragedy Album: Inperspective
Lyrics
Hist! - the sonorous orchestral ambience and the arabesque-stanc'd ballerina Her wee feet in an alacritic m¦lstrom-twirl And the dust-hurl with her tears blendeth - egad! this quagmire; Pasteth her unaptly apt feet to the stage: Like the wither'd rose of the luciferous eden By the mummer'd-masquerader espied vigilly and mockingly His behesting visage, tho' ruddily mummer'd 'tis - Embower'd and eddying oft and eft gloam by gloam Her sweetness ne'er cloy - further! further! - His scratching and dallying hollow-heart©d eyes Her breasts and vestal heart caress And like the dove and bird of prey leapeth she a«rily Whileas the orchestra playeth on travailingly; His one and sole swath With the pizzicato'd ensemble blendeth - And her umbral fœtal scream - As the song climaxeth And slowly dieth Away..
