Novelty Crosses Lyrics
Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposal
Bouncing back from colored glass
Serpents will guide me to your hull
Slithering between the pews of pearl
I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked
To run a gloveless finger up
Curvaceous trembling leg
We mustn't wait
The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
We'll fuck and so create
I'm being strangled by his statue
If only his cold eyes could weep
For these things that shouldn't be
Father, I've been sinning
I've pulled a fast one
The perfect sleight of fate
Goddamn, girl
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
The Higher powers shuddering
At what you have become
The laws of science abandoned
Thrust into purgatory
Mary, you've never looked so tender
I will your statues here
To take a breath of life and look upon
Her virgin skin raised in anticipation
The dark has won
My darkness has won again
What is truth?
I cannot yet discern
Kneeling in hope of reprimand
This Father's love shall not within me flow
I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer
How original a sin!
We'll fuck and so create
And burn this planet in our wake
I'm being strangled by his statue
If only his cold eyes could weep
For these things that shouldn't be
Father, I've been sinning
I've pulled a fast one
The perfect sleight of fate
Goddamn, girl
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
The only heaven I will know
Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse
We'll be immortal
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
As we feast of infinity's bust
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposal
Bouncing back from colored glass
Slithering between the pews of pearl
I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked
Curvaceous trembling leg

I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
We'll fuck and so create
If only his cold eyes could weep
For these things that shouldn't be
I've pulled a fast one
The perfect sleight of fate
Goddamn, girl
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
The Higher powers shuddering
At what you have become
Thrust into purgatory
I will your statues here
To take a breath of life and look upon
Her virgin skin raised in anticipation
The dark has won
My darkness has won again
I cannot yet discern
Kneeling in hope of reprimand
This Father's love shall not within me flow
I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer
And burn this planet in our wake
If only his cold eyes could weep
For these things that shouldn't be

The perfect sleight of fate
Goddamn, girl
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
As we feast of infinity's bust

The song's mocking the resistance of temptation practiced in Christianity, saying that humanity has always been unpure since Adam and Eve. The song's mocking all religious figures and is oblivious to God's love or his rule, the narrator is the epitome of sin.
hahahahahha, pimp + goth, very well done.
it's pretty sick to say a human can't be perfect, i mean, at least you can try
I actually think this is about a preacher who molests his female congregation, but everything the original poster said is advocated as well.
there's no doubt about it, he's talking about a church and christianity.
anarkiska is totally right and others are right also. But yes, a preacher who cannot resist the urge to "take" a beautiful woman any longer.
Yeah I agree..
A priest who can no longer sustain his urge. So he decides to fuck the woman right there in the church...
Pretty much its about having sex in a church

I think this song is about a demon raping the virgin mary.
He clearly says, "Mary you never looked so tender", and "Her virgin skin raised in anticipation," hence, the virgin mary
Plus, he talks about himself as if he's "a stain to such holy fabrics" so it seems to me that he is a demon, and not a priest
And "serpents will guide me to your hull" makes me think that the devil led him to a church where he raped mary.
I agree with all of the above, except I almost get the impression of a vampire or demon waging a war against God. Giving into temptation and raping the virgin Mary in the church, to kill her Innocence and then turning her to be exactly like he is forever. "We'll be immortal, a perfect union of lust. The flames of hell shall lick our coattails, as we feast of infinity's bust."
