Libertina Grimm Lyrics

Howitzer glare and spitfire blade
wooed by Dresden serenades,
her soundtrack now a bombing raid
bored of Vaudeville.

God was six days sober
on the night that she was born to
the glistening star of a bible class,
an icon now in religious porn.

She was Alice through the glory hole,
an ejaculate misconception.
Disney-esque, the high priestess of greed
and deepest dark deception.

All best to bury whims
for Miss Libertina Grimm.
Libertina Grimm!

She, that little red riding crop
brer werewolf at her stocking tops,
beneath the tightened leather strop
of the basque of the Houndervilles.

At the stroke of midnight come
she polished verse and hearses,
in a poisonous pen dipped in omen
to her surgeon full of general curses.

In the hand of morgue redeemers
though the dead always pleased her more,
squatting in their coffins flirting
curtsies to the thirteenth floor.

Tip your hats for
sweet Libertina Grimm!

Fantasy and candy stores,
Snow White and the seven straws,
smoke and mirrors on all fours.
Libertina Grimm!

Her brothers grim her sisters through,
the final dance will be the cue,
she amputates to fit the shoe.
Libertina Grimm!

Libertina Grimm!

Mystery kindled in a blackened room,
nine candles lit to improve the gloom.
She sees the dark as she feels the womb
full of hidden secrets.

They haunt her heart, those precious few,
those Count Lestats and Betty Blues.
Those tortured souls just like me and you
full of hidden secrets.

Tip your hats,
for sweet Libertina Grimm.

Fantasy and candy stores,
Snow White and the seven straws,
smoke and mirrors on all fours.
Libertina Grimm!

Her brothers grim her sisters through,
the final dance will be the cue,
she amputates to fit the shoe.
Libertina Grimm!

Fantasy and candy stores,
Snow White and the seven straws,
smoke and mirrors on all fours.
Libertina Grimm!

Her brothers grim her sisters through,
the final dance will be the cue,
she amputates to fit the shoe.
Libertina Grimm!

No, don't go!
Don't you leave me here
so alone, Libertina!

No, don't you go!
Don't you leave me here
so alone where the dead
are free to roam.
