Under the Graveyard Moon

We’ll sleep a deeper slumber
Now we’re interred
She stands in darkness praising
The ghost between her thighs calls my name
Moonlit tombs open and willing
Stolen gold moments for living
Blind to our affection we deceive
Blind to our deception we will grieve
I stand in darkness craving
A broken liturgy upon my lips
Shards of memory so unforgiving
The seal within a kiss preys on mine
Blind to our perfection we will grieve
Blind to our reflection we will bleed
Under the graveyard moon
We canonized a lie, the dead can tell us why
Under the graveyard moon
I sacrificed my soul in blood and hell below
But I loved you like a god
Yes, I did, like a god
We cannot escape each other here
We’ll embrace, erase, deface
The haunted, hunted and the fools obsessed
Sleep with dull white statues… bitterness
Suddenly see how I grope for thee
Can you feel the ring within the ring?
A darker world beyond the one we see
Pierced with violent beauty, and endless night
Through you see a god, it’s only a shadow
Of another god, a ring within a ring
Under the graveyard moon
We shattered every law
The dead will sleep no more
Under the graveyard moon
We slayed a million worlds
A flag of flame unfurled
Under the graveyard moon
A coffin built for two, a headstone with a view
Under the graveyard moon
The stars of heaven spawn
A night without a dawn
Ahhh,. I’d do it all again… oh I’d do
I’d do it all again.. all for you.. I call it love
