Blood of Summer Lyrics

Robed in white, the nymph with intent adores
Her mirror image of wolfeye whore
On her white breast, a withered cross she wears

But as carmine tears fall
Fainting she appears
Out of waves of crescent dream and darkness
Bleeding doves fly
As icecold crimson fires
They cleave the liquid sky
Repairing her smile, awaken every grace
For pain can never deceive
Never deceive

Blood of summer

Such floods of tears she shed
Only to tempt the flame
The flame of the death of our love
Living tomb of our souls
Love raised to an extreme
Scarce could the goddess
From her nymph be known in dreams

But by the zodiac and the golden zone
She scorned the praise of beauty
And the care

A noose around her neck
A fillet binds her hair
By all her streams of celestial tears
I shall receive her self, body and soul
And all that she can give

Blood of summer

Your cracked lips so dry
On which shadowfires still lie
Bleeding kisses I will pour
Shall thy innocent heat restore
Not from thee will I ever part
Mother Mary eat my heart

My inferior priestess bow at my side
Begin to rites ridden of all your pride
Unnumbered treasures reside at once
And here the various offerings of the whip appear

Heavenly visions of pain, the air receives
To that she bends, to that her eye she rears
We love and do not dream
Bleeding together in a soft crimson stream
Taking true pleasure for true love
But pain can never deceive

Blood of summer
