The Masquerader And Phoenix lyrics
Song information
Artist: Theatre Of Tragedy Album: Velvet Darkness They Fear
Lyrics
Hist! - the sonorous orchestral ambience and the arabesque-stanc'd ballerina Her wee feel in an alacritic maelstrom-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 mummmer'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? eyes Her breasts and vestal heart caress And like the dove and bird of prey leapeth she aerily Whileas the orchestra playeth on travailingly; His one and sole swath With the pizzicato'd ensemble blendeth - And her umbral foetal scream - As the song climaxeth And slowly dieth Away..
