Elegant and Perverse Lyrics
Engulfed within somnolence
Submerged within chimera
In isolation I wander
To the place of my sepulcher
The beauty of oblivion
Obstructing my path
Elegant yet perverse
To follow that before me
So blindly I durst
Visions of all I desire came
These gifts I could obtain
The penalty for such treasure
In your world I could not remain
By temptation weakened
Like flowers beneath the frost
Fantasy was mine to live
I realized not my loss
Anon it was ended
Anon it had begun
I awaken after every dusk
Never revealed is the sun
Now in perpetual somnolence
In immortal isolation I wander
Submerged in chimera
To the place of my sepulcher
To the fulfilled I am cursed
To the deprived blessed
Elegant yet perverse
Shall I find my rest?
Submerged within chimera
In isolation I wander
To the place of my sepulcher
The beauty of oblivion
Elegant yet perverse
To follow that before me
So blindly I durst
These gifts I could obtain
The penalty for such treasure
In your world I could not remain
By temptation weakened
Like flowers beneath the frost
Fantasy was mine to live
I realized not my loss
Anon it had begun
I awaken after every dusk
Never revealed is the sun
Now in perpetual somnolence
In immortal isolation I wander
Submerged in chimera
To the place of my sepulcher
To the deprived blessed
Elegant yet perverse
Shall I find my rest?

It seems as if the song discusses the duality of being something akin to the devil or dracula, or just simply a demon - it's both gift and punishment.
I think this is about a decision made, that has had very negative repercussions. "the pena;ty for such treasure". well that is the basic theme anyway.
