Paradiso

I walked before an errant moon and I thought of you. Paradiso in my throat. Pining is essential to my personality—I love to be foiled by god. Who would I be without longing? I encounter catastrophe and catastrophe encounters me. Rise after crucifixion. Paradise regained. Who am I in the starving dark? Who am I that thou say thou art? I believed suffering was a kind of devotion. Bind me oh devouring delight burning at my bedside Elysia desire binds me in the nights to this vanishing Paradise

Fire streaming across my skin 
it was Desire screaming in the dark 
Stigmata on your hands 
Was it disaster if it was planned 
For a moment I was divine again 
Paradiso in my throat 
And yes I am divine desire again 
You chose! You chose long ago!
Oh god it was vespertine desire that liquidated me in the night 
Sirens screaming at my neck: desire! desire! 
The puppet master coordinating my limbs 
And yes I was here again! 
You abandoned me at the roadside 
Like a bruised deer in headlights
Well make me your sacrifice 
You tried to be a good man 
I wanted to be better than I am 
Stigmata on your hands 
Oh Sappho it was desire streaming in my skin
Burning at my bedside 
Stigmata on your hands 
I prayed for decadence again 
Desire you ride me to my death 
How could I forgive and how could I forget 
Oh my beloved now it is your time to die for desire
I declare it in the midnights 
Quelle euphorie, you dying for desire!
Paradiso in my throat 
Spend an electric afterlife with me under LA streetlights 
This is the ecstasy of burning paradise
Witness me in rapture this is desire this is what life is after
Stigmata on your hands 
Was it disaster if it was planned 
I prayed for decadence again 
Paradiso in my throat 
And I am divine desire again 
You chose! You chose long ago!
It was desire that liquidated me in the night
Sirens screaming at my neck 
You tried to be a good man 
I wanted to be better than I am 
Stigmata on your hands
You abandoned me at the roadside
Like a deer bruised in headlights
Well take me as your sacrifice 
Now my beloved I will make you die from desire  
Desire you ride me to my death 
How could I forgive and how could I forget 
Nature’s wounded force
So I burn my throat 
Oblivion after oblivion 
I will find another golden being
Desire burned like vengeance in me
I won't survive this ecstasy
Flames of paradise burning my throat
Now my beloved it is your turn to die for desire 
And I will be your burning afterlife
