Decadence

Desire I feared you were crucifixion 
Desire at the edge of the desert universe
I lived in this inferno first
Madonna in the hollows
Dead from perfection 
I wanted and I wanted decadently 
God said: Here is your mercy
This is the mirror of fire
Awaken to this fragile violence
This is how you die 
Surviving the decadence of the wreck 
The void split and then there were two 
Salvation from the wasteland
Then the void severed me from you  
It wasn't disaster if it was planned 
Desire burned like devastation in me 
The fragility named me decadence 
And then decadence made a wasteland of me 
God sent this obsession
He said : I am the night universe 
And this is Genesis this is the End (Again)
It felt like I was floating in auroral storms 
Back in the battleground 
Theogony like the gods symphony 
The Beloved Awaited Me 
Desire burned a wasteland in me
You were my fragile heartbeat 
But it was the vanishing abyss beating in my chest 
This leviathan in the wasteland 
Rising from the ruins of this life 
And then I died from desires appetites 
The flesh collapses 
Predator in the vanishing abyss 
Fires on the distant hills 
I witnessed 
Me! Rising from the ruins! 
Sacrifice of the seraph 
And I am myself again
And I am ruins again
End of the desert universes
Before the grandeur I panicked
A succession of knives at my neck 
The decadence of the wreck 
This is the sign of fire 
This is how you die 
I felt the rhythm of the vanishing abyss 
Like a heartbeat in my chest 
Desire what an inheritance I witnessed 
Warchief I am your decadence
It ends with us
The prophets are sorghum 
My inheritance: these fires rising from the distant hills
Before the starlight I am your wife
Resurrection from the ruins
In the company of lesser men
I am dead again 
Wake the dawns the grace of midnights
swallowed again by some behemoth of smoke risen from the ruins 
This is the end of the night universes
In the company of lesser men
I am dead again
Unearthed the flesh collapses
I am the vanishing abyss in your chest 
I am ash again 
Burning earth I am your sacrifice 
I am how you survive 
This is my inheritance
Ruin again 
Hemlock in my throat 
I loved I loved
In the company of lesser men 
The fool turns to gold again 
Summoning the sunrises
And I was alive then
