Album: Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder
Genre: Rock
Here sat Babylon
Fattened by the purses of the worst and wrong
Where the decadent tastes of hell grew strong
Like a curse upon this tragic kingdom
Dusk descended like a final curtain
On this stage only death was certain
Singing through the turrets
Like a velvet serenade played near a grave
Sentries and gentry, afforded the bloom
Of a red setting sun and a bloodletting moon
Applauded then accorded them
Portents of doom, almost too soon
They pissed upon the winds that rocked the cradles
Laughing over hovels, groveling to wolves
They kissed and sinned under overstocked tables
As the world outside grew sodden and mauled
Here sat Babylon
Fattened by the purses of the worst and wrong
Where the decadent tastes of hell grew strong
Like a curse upon this tragic kingdom
Gilles sat sipping absinthe from a goblet made of bone
As lightning ripped and danced upon the flagstones
Wayward fantasies marched on home
Now the treetops bowed to whisper in a thin Disney veneer
They knew the howls so exquisitely honed
Were those of children disappeared
They'd listened to the winds heard the murdered Abel
Rechristened in the stone jaws of Tiffauges
Where the list of sins grew beyond a fable
They now roared abroad restless with debauch
Restless with debauch, restless with debauch
This tragic kingdom would see God's angels walk
Satanic, enigmatic, his black magic was ecstatic
Megalomanic in titanic displays
Dressed in the best wicked britches of the west
He cut a mourning figure in a glorious swathe
But all his nightmares would come true
Drowning in a stream of conscious pleasure
Here sat Babylon fattened by the purses of the worst and wrong
Where the decadent tastes of hell grew strong
Like a curse upon this tragic kingdom
Like a curse upon this tragic kingdom
The moon bleared through the skeletal trees
Averting her face from congenital deeds
Thus eves grew murky, haunted, grieved
About this place laced with demon seed
Blanchett a priest, his book of lies
Exonerated him from Gille's crimes
Announced his fears, one night of sighs
A night for cursing nursery rhymes
In the light of the fire wrestling reckless shadows
The tracks get blacker for this tragical kingdom
Gille's frightening wealth, his tightening grip
On the weak and the rubies that his coffers let slip
Steered to near ruin in successive years
The most of excess and the best of it here
In the light of the fire wrestling reckless shadows
