Dressed in Death Lyrics

Dead, I lean over you, gaze at your body in all its rigor mortis glory
touch, my fingers run from your neck to your gut, caressing and feeling, a tingling sensation
my face so near, I put my ear to your chest, I close my eyes and listen to the silence
inhale your scent, intoxication at its finest, I lick my lips and dream away

Stale cold presence boils my blood
you lie still but I see our shadows on the wall,
entwined in morbid love, swaying to the dance of death
hold my hand and I will lead you to our thrones, bow down your head to be crowned by me
a crown of light to shine in your dead life, to carry you over the mortals stream

You are my princess, sculpted in dead flesh, a mannequin under my command
I am your king and you are my slave, obey my wishes till the world withers old

Your body is my temple, a temple of flesh, sacrifice yourself to me, your god
quench my urge, my need, my hunger, my lust, my dreams, embrace me and fill me with your lifeless entity
like a touch divine, you heal my shattered soul, drown me in a reeking serenity
join me now for a fetid night in the decaying halls of our putrid ballroom

Our feast of macabre, our feast of stench, joining us in unholy matrimony
chained by forbidden love through eternity

But when the night is over and I've claimed your flesh
an empty void fills my heart, sad I leave you to rot in my bed, in search of a new queen to rule by my side
