"Achingly Beautiful" lyrics
"Achingly Beautiful"
Night
That fateful raven alighted
On the cusp of my bewitchment
The beast in the clouds had swallowed the moon
A silverback thundering across the cosmos
In silence, now stars followed her tune
Winking from existence on the brink of chaos
I penned an open sonnet
To the pearly gates ablaze
As I gazed upon this angel
Intoxicating everything
The ball became her court
Her presence there electrifying
Candelabra fought
To tear themselves away
She was a flame, divine
My pathic call of duty, irrefutable
Her eyes, they paralyzed me, froze the flow of time
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Fleeing from the manor
In the manner of this crime
We sheltered from the pelting
Helter-skelter of the skies
In the Greek gazebo
Speaking tragedian rhyme
Death would never settle
For one petal at a time
He would pluck the fucker!
Lo, this malleus eve
Is heaving to the pulse of souls
She was the game, sublime
A knight takes queen in ruby, indisputable
Then her eyes, they paralyzed me for a second time
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Drinking in her flora
This Aurora to the storm
I was burning in the furnace
Of a love that went to war
With ravenous desire
Fires lit the heavens for
Caressing in the rainfall
A less painful metaphor
For this hunger...
On marbled tomb
Breathless, cocooned
A long, red dress shrouds
Like Ophelia, this Goddess
Mourning, then crawls
Black velvet palled
To pass fervent lips
Betwixt her deliciousness
Miserere Mei Diva
Forgive me forever, my bride
But a gift was delivered, however perverse
On that night you exquisitely died
Seraphina rise...
Arcane perfection
Her legend was etched
...To queen demon revised
A fell resurrection
Unparalleled in this world or next
Awaken, forsaken
By others soon taken as prey
Now you shall stand in the grandeur of love
A wonderland in which to play
The beast in the clouds spat back the moon
And arrayed in a crown of glittering cobwebs
She slid to her feet like a prophet of doom
Born to immortal darkness
As mortality slipped away
She was a flame, divine
My gnathic call of duty, irrefutable
Her eyes imparadised me with their wicked shine
A glimpse so achingly beautiful
Now she stirs the night
Just like the perfect Lorelei
As she spurs the dark horse
Foaming in my soul
Death is fleet, sweet, oft discreet
The beast in beauty's mask
Her skies, bediademed, complete
Now freed of days grown overcast
