This Immortal Coil

Kashi stands

Before you

Dressed as my husband

In love with my wife

Cut-throat eidolon

Betrothed to a knife

The angel they say they love

The gutted, raped and eaten one

Their joke of All Kings

The flies have devoured me

Meat and cold comfort

A forest draped in angel hair

Only my perfect one knows me

A tired little boy hunting monsters

Somehow she loves me still

I taught her how to fly

She taught me how to kill

La Petit Mort

Our songs of murder

To die and come again

And again

End me sweetly

Clair de Lune

My always

Your thief of silver and scarlet

Always

A fluttered thing of ermine

Drowning in flame

Please pin me to your board

Your mouth inside my name

Gathered from moss

From branch and soil

Limbs entwined

This immortal coil

Always

Cover your eyes

This is my life

Hope for my child

Rose for my wife

My Lights

No virgin seas

Nothing left to chart

Heaven is weeping

Because I opened my heart

For you I'll remake the world

While under duress

Where the hardest thing that happens

Is the softest caress

So hold your wolf gently

We'll watch the world turn

I'm still in love

See how I burn

I will never leave you here
