I shivered 
in the warmth of their god 
Yet this mansion 
is haunted by romance 
His servants heal my scars 
Anointing me with oil 
I am naked and silk on this eve 
His body will cradle his bride's 
in frailty as I await his kiss 
mortality ebbs from me 
The pendulum sings 
Twelve times it rings 
I sleep with the emperor
