The language in the dimmer rooms

Seems to represent the light source well

How soft they speak and seem to be at peace

 With the movement of the music and the madness

 That’s pulling me into this

And the shades of the lamps are woven red

The light, it stains and consecrates

Anointing all forgotten forms

That swirl and smoke and haunt this place

The girls in gowns all nurse the dark

Pulling it near to their swelling breasts

And watch as it seeps to their hearts

And beats within their virgin chests

And here I know seduction breeds

From wanton hearts that would seduce

And grows and spreads its vines and leaves

Embracing those who might have moved

But now remain to drink the night

From vials black and thick with steam

With intoxicating delights

Would leave you drunk inside this dreeeeeeeeeeeam

 And you watch them take the light from you

And you find yourself on a velvet couch,

Tasting the skin of a foreign girl

Her eyes are black and wet like oil

 And she ties your hands with a string of pearls

And you tremble like a frightened bird

 As she closes in and captures you to place you

 In a silver cage deep within her poisoned womb

So once you’re safe inside, she might let you out

 To fly in circles around the room

 But its always night and there is no moon

 And you wonder if you are alive

 And you’re not sure if you want to be

 But you drink her sweat like it was wine

 And you lay with her

 On a bed of blue

 And it’s awful sweet

 Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you

to you (repeat twice)
