[Verse 1]
C5
Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposal
C5
Bouncing back from colored glass
[Break]
Serpents will guide me to your hull
Slithering between the pews of pearl
I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked
[Verse 2]
C5
To run a gloveless finger up
Curvaceous trembling leg
We mustn't wait
[Break]
C5
The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
We'll fuck and so create
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb5
I'm being strangled by his statue
Eb5 Gb5
If only his cold eyes could weep
G5
For these things that shouldn't be
[Chorus]
Gb5
Father, I've been sinning
Eb5 G5
I've pulled a fast one
Gb5
The perfect sleight of fate
Eb5 G5
Goddamn, girl
Gb5 Eb5
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
G5
The Higher powers shuddering
Gb5 Eb5
At what you have become
[Verse 3]
C5
The laws of science abandoned
Thrust into purgatory
[Middle]
Eb5 Bb5 D/F#
Mary, you've never looked so tender
Eb5 C5
I will you statues here
Eb5 D
To take a breath of life and look upon
Eb5 Bb5 D/F# Eb5
Her virgin skin raised in anticipation
C5 Eb5
The dark has won
D G5
My darkness has won again

[Bridge 1]
C5 Eb5
What is truth?
D5
I cannot yet discern
C5 Eb5 D5
Kneeling in hope of reprimand
C5 Eb5 D5
This Father's love shall not within me flow
C5 Eb5
I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer
[Bridge 2]
C5
How original a sin!
We'll fuck and so create
And burn this planet in our wake
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb5
I'm being strangled by his statue
Eb5 Gb5
If only his cold eyes could weep
G5
For these things that shouldn't be
[Chorus]
Gb5
Father, I've been sinning
Eb5 G5
I've pulled a fast one
Gb5
The perfect sleight of fate
Eb5 G5
Goddamn, girl
Gb5 Eb5
Like an hourglass I'll invert you
G5
The only heaven I will know
Gb5 Eb5 C5
Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse
[Outro 1]
We'll be immortal
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
As we feast of infinity's bust
