It is midnight in the labyrinth
The night is set to taint the painted halls
Moonlight is our cue
The candelabra flicker at your passing gall
I swear they're dancing just for you
The dead leaves rustle on the manor lawns
As a light breeze whispers through
The call of wolves. The owls lament
Our screams shall soon soar skyward too
Mistress from the sucking pit
All the world crawls lovesick at her feet
The stars are passing observations
Her voice is music, her legs go on
She's got full orchestration
And been known to use it
But trepidation is a far slicker song
Amongst dull suitors
She is bright and razor sharp
A tree of woe uprooter
A viper still at heart
She's alkaline and far acidic
As sweet as clementines
This mistress from the sucking pit
All the world crawls lovesick at her feet
The stars are passing observations
Her voice is music, her legs go on
She's got full orchestration
And been known to use it
But trepidation is a far slicker song
Mistress from the sucking pit
Embossed by her postulant gaze
Like Medusa on a plinth
I am lost in her embrace
Oh dear God
It is midnight in the labyrinth
A peacock fan of sinful eyes
Swim wide across the room
This night, espied, your thin disguise
Does wonders for the sundered gloom
For all lit up the shades retreat
To dark Italian pews
And corners where great vases stand
Abrim with thoughts of naked dais with you
Mistress from the sucking pit
All the world crawls lovesick at her feet
The stars are passing observations
Her needs are dire, her rites are wrong
She burns with exultation
Like a fiery vampire
For desperation is a far slicker song
Amongst dull suitors
She's bright and razor sharp
A tree of woe uprooter
A viper still at heart
She's alkaline and far acidic
Fluidic, serpentine
This mistress from the sucking pit
The waiters pass in gilded frames
With glasses sparkling too
The ball tonight rows magical
Like the finest Venice threw
And at it's heart a mythic queen
Her skin of purest hue
Whose beauty is unquestionable
But whose duties are askew
For beneath the airs and divine graces
A slim tornado whirls
On the precipice of her poisonous kiss
The devil dwells deep inside this girl
Embossed by her postulant gaze
Like Medusa on a plinth
I am lost in her embrace
Oh dear God
It is midnight in the labyrinth
Mistress from the sucking pit
The wine has sat and breathed it's last
In blood red ruby where
I find you by the roaring hearth
A blaze of golden hair
Cascading down an angel's face
To pool about the breasts
That man minds have wondered on
But only I caress
And then I'm yours. The velvet crown
Of Venus in my hands
Fists rip hard the eiderdown
Desire firebrands
Every mountain, every route
My wanton tongue must take
To taste that once forbidden fruit
Before your bloodlust starts to...
