lyrics

.: III :. STENDHAL’S C A R R I O N

Carve into me and feed as you must…

I am Stendhal's Carrion,
A martyr of Art.
Murdered by mercy,
Rotting for beauty.

I'm the strychnine on your breath,
The most treacherous of alcohols,
The greatest pleasure there is...

Worlds as weapons, [I'm crystallizing on canvas]
For me to use against the confines of Kosmos
To fully comprehend the depths of Life,
and its meaningless cycle

Burst forth hostile art forms of my creation,
Deformed, from unreachable dimensions
Impossible to grasp,
yet the key to so many secrets beyond.

For I am the nuclear force sweeping trough the Land,
of Leviathanesque proportions.

I am Stendhal's Carrion,
A martyr of Art.
Murdered by mercy,
Rotting for beauty.
I am Stendhal's Carrion,
Martyr of Art.
Strangle my Glory
for the likes of thee.

A walking, breathing Masterpiece…

My Gospel requires Radium devotion.

Death never asked for such a perfect pupil,
yet here I am, decaying, ready for the taking.

Ready for the taking!
My Gospel requires Radium devotion.

Death never wished for such a perfect pupil,
yet here I AM!
