Lyrics

[Intro]
We wish to live deliciously
We wish to live deliciously
[Verse 1]
Velvet incantations
Standing ovations from the stalls
The tortuous stage is a bountiful harvest
To which we stay in thrall
[Chorus]
We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted
Enchanted
[Verse 2]
Greatest expectations
Enemy nations all shall fall
To the latest gage, a venery future
Wherein peace remains the rule
[Refrain]
Behold the golden dawn
Our world reborn to a sworn horizon
As from the grip of winter's siege
We prise ourselves to rise again
To live
To live deliciously
[Verse 3]
We desire, we tire fate
We raise poetic spires
To clearly overcompensate
[Verse 4]
Bespoke neath erotic stars
Each to their own psychotic caste
[Chorus]
We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted, free to every vice
[Refrain]
Behold the golden dawn
Our world reborn to a sworn horizon
As from the grip of winter's siege
We prise ourselves to rise again
To live
To live deliciously
[Verse 5]
We expire, best never wait
Lest these ecstatic fires
Burn as dreams evaporate
[Verse 6]
Just one stretch above the tar
So run amok and thunder far
In lust and utter bliss embark
[Chorus]
We wish to live deliciously
In this garden of delights
We wish to live deliciously
Enraptured, bedight
We wish to live deliciously
In this sea of paradise
We wish to live deliciously
Enchanted, free to every vice
[Outro]
Forget redemption for the time is rife
To face the day and empower the night
To revel dishevelled in the chaos of life
Embracing the playful and the slayful knife
So brace for the slayful and the playful knife
