Christabel's Journey Lyrics


Man of ivory skin

you could have had everything

For the morningstar alone

Oh fallen one

I will follow you in

neath the earth where you keep your sin

No whores of babylon

wakes your lust

I have seen your desire

You cast your own shadow now

In a river of despair

You wallow

You took the taste from my lips

with a grin and then thrown aside

All the urges you restrain

Uncovered

The taste of you was all I had

The grace of you, the chime in every step you take

The death of men, all weak of heart

But I will always be there for you

I'll give you life and pull you down

way down to where I lay

Patiently awating zest

My pain be kept inside forever more

I have failed. My tears prevailed

And now I crave for you to cover me

With your warmth, your loins and breast

the final test

You love was all I wanted

Man of ivory skin

Since you reek of the filth of him

I cannot touch you now

Oh fallen one

Come hither that I may

see you once more my lover

In chains, your servant

I'll gather the fallen stars for you

Is this your best excuse

No more in the eyes of your lord, a woman

You have stained yourself with me

and kissed me in blackest horror

I shall give your soul back to you now

for all you may have suffered by my hands

I'll capture all your demons and put them down to sleep

like swarms of tiny insects crushed beneath your feet

And skip over stones and pebbles and nightmarish fiends

to the place where we lay together and shared in your heat

Once there I'll choke the fire that burns deep within me

and give you lord of liars a final forbidden treat

Christabel, where are you now?

Please return to me from the mist.

You skip over stones and pebbles and nightmarish fiends

to the place where we lay together and shared in my heat

Once there you'll choke the fire that burns deep in me

and give me, lord of liars, forbidden treats

The taste of you was all I had

The grace of you, the chime in every step you take

The death of men, all weak of heart

But I will always be there for you

I'll give you life and pull you down

way down to where I lay

Patiently awating zest

My pain be kept inside forever more

I have failed. My tears prevailed

And now I crave for you to cover me

With your warmth, your loins and breast

the final test

Your lust is all I want
