Absinthe With Faust

Pour the emerald wine Into crystal gla*ses We will touch the divine Through kissed catharsis Let us pitch to the seven-year itch Of the ultra-decadent To a tainted world and the painted girls That our fantasies spent Tripping through boudoirs laced with opiate themes Sipping the bizarre, tasting copious dreams A toast to those most sacrilegious of days Where for every whim won One soon repays We touched the stars That now laugh from afar At we, the damned The damned The damned The damned Damned We have spent our time Drenched in opulent splendor But when midnight chimes Will gilded souls surrender? Let us drink on the giddying brink Of pools of excrement All manner of shit for the glamor and glitz Mephistopheles lent I remember the night as if it were engraved A bright marble bridge stretched across dark waves To the shore from the moon and by her grace Came that erudite stranger That f**ker He was a predator, creditor cold Our blood was shed on the yellowing scrolls And all that glittered was not gold But we wanted everything And for it all lost our souls 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 This precipitous weir to Hell's High Gate We touched the stars That now laugh from afar At we, the damned The damned The damned The damned Damned He was a preditor, creditor cold Our blood was shed on the yellowing scrolls And all that glittered was not gold But we wanted everything And for it all lost our souls Our souls And for it all lost our souls Our souls
