Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pour the emerald wine into crystal glasses
We will touch the divine through kiss catharsis
[Verse 2]
Let us preach to the seven year reach of the ultra-decadent
To a tainted world and the painted girls that our fantasies spent
[Verse 3]
Trippin' through boudoirs laced with opiate themes
Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams
A toast to the most sacrilegious of days
We're the perfect with one, one soon repays
[Verse 4]
We touched the stars that now laugh from afar at we, the damned
The damned, the damned, the damned, damned
[Verse 5]
We have spent our time drenched in opulent splendor
But when midnight chimes, will gilded souls surrender?
[Verse 6]
Let us drink on the giddying brink of pools of excrement
All manner of shit for the glamour and glitz Mephistopheles lent
[Verse 7]
I remember that night as if it were engraved
A bright marble bridge stretched across the waves
And the shore from the moon and by her grace
Came that erudite stranger, that fucker
[Verse 8]
He was a predator, creditor, cold
Our blood was shed on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered was not gold
But we wanted everything
And, for it all, lost our souls
[Verse 9]
Come, my friend, to fate let's raise
Two finger shots at this, our last soiree
For tomorrow, I fear, swoops all too deadly near
[Verse 10]
This precipitous weir to hell's high gate
[Verse 11]
We touched the stars that now laugh from afar at we, the damned
The damned, the damned, the damned, damned
[Verse 12]
He was a predator, creditor, cold
Our blood was shed on the yellowing scroll
And all that glittered was not gold
And we wanted everything
And, for it all, lost our souls
Our souls
For it all, lost our souls
Our souls
