"...I want you to paint me, like one of your dead girls, a screaming Madonna, bloody and yours. Because I love you, in ways you don't love me, DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BE."

lyrics

I worship in the shadows
of your un-holy flame,
This church of dark heArts,
With fire I will RAZE,
To madness the pain's driven me,
No more, my love, DENIED,
I've burned for YOU,
Burn with ME,
As one, immortalised...

I want you to paint me, like one of your dead girls,
A screaming Madonna, bloody and yours...

The death throes of our show-down,
Tragically displayed,
Charred in unwilling arms,
Your last muse - I'll REMAIN,
A monument to Triumph,
A charcoal masterpiece,
For aeons they will gaze on us,
Gaze... and WEEP

I want you to paint me, like one of your dead girls,
A screaming Madonna, Bloody and YOURS...
Because I want you,
In ways you don't want me,
Death is the only,
Way we can be...

Oh how I've dreamed,
This final moment,
You and I
and Hell wide open
All I yearned,
One sweet token
Or tender smile
To keep hopin'
Oh Paint for ME,
"Venus, Awoken"
Leave your hate and fear unspoken
Romanticize a pose revolting,
Hell on Earth
And your legs broken
Paint a princess draped in pearls
And love me,
Like I'm your girl.

I want you to paint me, like one of your dead girls,
A screaming Madonna, Bloody and YOURS...
Because I love you,
In ways you don't love me,
Death is the only,
Way we can be...

We can't be... WELL I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NOW, AMN'T I?

La la, la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la laaa...
