His Infernal Majesty (a tribute poem)

Begin the sacrament in the circle of fear.
My heart is locked in the fortress of tears,
Singing love's requiem.
In this endless dark, our souls are on fire.
It is heaven tonight as we bathe in desire
In the night-side of Eden.

Let me sing you this song one last time.
The heartless shall pay for their crimes.
We lick the salt in our wounds.
Rip out my wings on a Katherine wheel.
Let me bleed well until I feel
My lips turn blue.

The poison girl dances under cyanide snow
"Is life worth living?" and love said no.
She is now under the rose.
It is a heartache every moment we are awake.
The kiss of dawn shall partake
Until it is drunk on the shadows.

We indulge in the funeral of hearts.
You've been buried alive right here in my arms.
We wait for our resurrection.
What is behind the crimson door?
What is laying on Passion's killing floor?
We are beyond redemption.

We keep on pretending love ceased to exist,
Killing loneliness with a razorblade kiss,
Walking the path to dead lover's lane
Don't fear the reaper; Join me in death.
In joy and sorrow, we draw our last breaths
Our lives are a wicked game.
