Beautiful Decay
The sunlight
burned the
land
it scorched
the eyes of
men
turning the
bodies
tight of
the slaves
to the night
the light sliced
the headstones
of the graveyard
as the crows
spoke
thirstily
for a prey
willingly
revealed itself
and he whispers
to his love
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
and she says
with vying lips
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
knowing one
day this fate
we will share
we wash our
filthy glasses
after we've
drunk the
poison
silently we speak
to the ravens
peak
hades' eyes he
wishes to meet
to bear the
whips as
he lays to
the devil's
feet
tongues of lies
tied
misguided fools
can't you see
the beauty
the art
of it
so captivating
and he whispers
to his love
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
and she says
with vying lips
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
knowing one
day this fate
we will share
we wash our
filthy glasses
after we've
drunk the
poison
ripped flesh
in every
perfect angle
body contorted
and discolored
oh he must be
an angel
his eyes filled
with fear
the death blow
he surely was
to hear
how lovely the
blood wrapped
around your
body
as it decorates
the earth
cold-blooded veins
cut freshly rings
brain
out of order
it will be perfected
come noon
the world to
see your
masterpiece
angel of death
and he whispers
to his love
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
and she says
with vying lips
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
knowing one
day this fate
we will share
we wash our
filthy glasses
after we've
drunk the
poison
be grateful
you were
chosen now
living
soul caught
in afterlife's hold
grasp no longer
to life for
it has passed
you by
in death's
faithful tide
cherish the memories
that stand
the man
that can
crush you
with one hand
and he whispers
to his love
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
and she says
with vying lips
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
knowing one
day this fate
we will share
we wash our
filthy glasses
after we've
drunk the
poison
burn, burn
reaper's victim
as your body
slowly blackens
to ask of
perishing
perishing
in morning's
mist
as the blood
dissolves
we know
one day our
bodies will
do the same
now silent
be silent
watch slowly
the flesh
disappear
to fade
to crust
to become dust
and he whispers
to his love
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
and she says
with vying lips
beautiful decay
beautiful decay
knowing one
day this fate
we will share
we wash our
filthy glasses
after we've
drunk the
poison
we have been
chosen
