Eyes of perfect ivory 
Match the sweetest lengths of her neck 
I am but a stain to such holy fabrics 
Darwin's proposals bouncing back 
From colored glass 

Serpents will guide me to your hull 
Slithering between the pews of pearl 
And walk a path of purity and temporary grace 
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked 
To run a gloveless finger up 
Curvaceous trembling leg, we mustn't wait 

The fruits of tragedy we'll taste 
I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve 
We'll f*ck and so create 

I'm being strangled by his statue 
If only his cold eyes could weep for these things that should not be 
Father, I've been sinning
I've pulled a fast one, the perfect sleight of fate 

Goddamn girl
Like an hourglass, I'll invert you 
The higher powers shuddering at what you have become 

The laws of science abandoned 
Thrust into purgatory 

Mary you've never looked so tender, I will you statues 
Here to take a breath of life and look upon 
Her virgin skin raised in anticipation 
The dark has won 
My darkness has won again! 

What is truth? 
I cannot yet discern 
Kneeling in hope of reprimand 

This father's love shall not within me flow 
I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer! 

How original a sin 
We'll f*ck and so create 
And burn this planet in our wake 

I'm being strangled by his statue 
If only his cold eyes could weep for these things that should not be 
Father, I've been sinning.. 
I've pulled a fast one, the perfect sleight of fate 

Goddamn girl
Like an hourglass, I'll invert you 
The only heaven I will know is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse 

We'll be immortal, a most blessed union of lust 
The flames of hell shall lick our coat-tails as we feast of infinities bust
