Sometimes I beheaded themWith daggers, with poniards, with knivesSometimes I suspended them in my roomFrom a pole or by a hook and chords and strangled themAnd when they were languishingI committed with them the evils of the fleshThe evening air laps thick aboutThe stagnant moat that Tiffauges claimsAs dusk now slips awayWhere taught to run, the rotten tongueOf a hotter GцtterdдmerungHas started licking like a flameWhispers in the dismal mistAre full of crystal promisesBlack rites begun in earnestIgnite Hell's hungry furnaceBehold the bold inauguration of the darksideDemonic passions climbingIll-fated stars aligningTonight these sights are guaranteed to feed the masterThe tide of blood is risingHis gifts will be providingUnmasked, the phantom lord De RaisHaunts the furthest towerWherein death has sucked the hourThere, throttled gasps tantamount to foreplayAnd drooling razors next to comeUnspool red secrets from the youngThe moon grinned full, the games were chasteWhen the children first arrivedNow midnight shadows crawl apaceTo darken counsel with their livesFlesh and ecstasy as sportAre immortal vices of the highest orderWherein devilry holds swayBehind blind walls where these cockatrice squalledTheir songs of NecronomiconSpoke out of Gilles De RaisEach murdered son, each frozen roseHandpicked, was gently fedTo the sumptuous one in black and thoseWhose lives were thrown in with the deadThe candles lit, the stage was setAs it was in sainted daysWhen censers swung and banners hungOn the Siege of Orleans on the painted SeineNow the castle floats in the drifting fogTorn from it's mooringsLike a shipwreck dredged from HellAs innocents entreat a shifting GodTheir voices soaringOn a silver tide to heavenOn a knife edge as they fellThe blade would plunge in virulent arcsSuch wounds would stretch awayBy the fireside, warmed to creative sparksOf the monster Gilles De RaisGilded Gilles De RaisComets vomitedThe restless bells of crimePeeled back skin from broken bonesOf angels cut from the nicks of timeFestering faces with painted eyesThe prettiest kept to be thrust insideGaping necromantic from the mantle-sideCaked in kissed goodbyesDays faded in decayThe stench of perfume liedNo horror in the glades of manWas left for Barron to provideSo unique was the beat of his poisoned heartAnd it's sordid, morbid crackNo further atrocity could possibly surpassUnrewarded, bored, he turned his back
