9. Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids (7:47)
"Hear me now, all crimes should be treasured
If they bring thee pleasure somehow"

Her likeness hung in the black gallery
Commanding unease
Demanding of Death to breathe...

Elizabeth, mysterious.
Cruelty brought thee orchids
From the bowels of the abyss

Exacting obeisance
Her gaze held a seance
Of spirits too trapped under glass to commune
A sleeter mistress than Luna
Whose threats to consume Her
Met with torments giving vent to Her swoon

Flat on Her back
Pack-prey for the reams
Of verses and curses
That haunted Her dreams

Ridden split-thighed
By the Father of lies
An ovation of wolves
Blushed the skies as they writhed

But Heaven is never forever
She came, a spent storm
From the clouds...

Leaving serpents in office
Inside every gate
To lick righteous holes
Blinding Lords to the fate
Of virgins forced naked
To defile on rent knees
Hacked and racked backwards
Menses choking their pleas

"More. Whore. More.
Twitching make me wet with thee
Carcass rub me raw"

From the bowels of the abyss
