Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium Songtext

von My Dying Bride

The destroying genius of idols
Will shroud the world with utter lies
Dance the cobbles, his abode named diss
Portraits have spoken their masters distress
Icons with kisses, tell me who have seen this
Failing enochian tapestries
Depict the prince of fallen virtues
In almost poetic rhapsody
Masturbate to the sound of the knell
The pathetic stench of dying children
Perhaps our fall is certain
Limbs entwined in absolute contortion

Please put off your veil
Your heart is blameless
And I shudder for knowing it

A hot may makes a fat churchyard
And lyvhfowel breed in chaotic frenzy
Her cry was the saddest of all earths sounds
Trauma bites hard the hearts of kin
Swept away by a moments sadness
They say rage is a brief madness
By way the belobved farewell
Give back to nature what we first did take
And monuments would slowly fill
The agendas of kings and queens
In silence our faces bleed
The holy voice torn away by the gale

Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you

Love is a game where both players cheat
Gone is the tale of hero and leander
Women are angels yet wedlocks the devil
To have and to hold but death no longer parts
Harlots and sluts, whores of our world
Expose their stinking vaginas
Many who have no will of their own
Hold their soul towards the sinister bloom
Are you rich oh lord of vanity?
As you peddle your wares of cruelty
Dressed up so you look the part
So blind it's ignorance you wear

Quite brutal beyond belief
Sores that weep their septic tears
Dragged out through war torn lifetimes
And death shall feast on us all
The mills of god grind slowly
The adorable light of which is most divine

The fascination of her shape
With mansions of awe and splendour
Elegant in simplicity
So at last your faith rewards you
Through fields enriched with pastel shade
And fragrant lavenders soft to smell
You laugh and drink wine of no great age
Nature does scent the farthest shores
Face to face your angelic host
All hopes in you imperishably kept
Is god your wish and all your dreams?
If your body is frail then yes by all means

Make yourself all honey
And the flies will devour you
