As We Lay Dying
Can someone lend me their regret?
'Cause mine is dirty and worn
I put blood upon blood and stone over stone
next to the old watering hole
I give you, my dear, some awkward caress
on your beauty carcass, on your pretty face
An untimely kiss while the angels of God
are watching over us
Oh, I say,
we will burn together in the deepest part of hell.
I sit next to you on the hillside
I throw your black hair over my drooling mouth
I put my bow legs on your cool thighs
We will be a gin soaked sculpture,
And even if God became man in Judas
And all the murders were fair
Although the night doesn’t give up to day
and no fire will ever go out
You would say,
It's so blessed good to feel your flames inside once again
A crooked maternity in a twisted cathedral
of twisted flesh, of twisted souls
I don't give a shit about the Holy Spirit
I will love your body after all
Like Abel loved Cain
Like Nadezhda loved Iosef
Like Geli Raubal, who died full of love
You will love me too.
Like Abraham loved Isaac
Like Nero loved his mom
Like Magda Goebbels her beloved sons
I would keep loving you
Oh, you said,
It's so blessed good to feel your flames inside once again
Oh, I say,
we will burn together in the deepest part of hell.

(I love you) Above Any Justice Or God
Do you want to sleep tonight with me
in a dictator's big bed?
with a black velvet canopy
and white satin sheets
while the screams of the dying lull us to sleep
Do you want to walk around with me
through the Winter Palace's gardens?
under willows we will feel the breeze
while the soldiers push the corpses out of our way
We will decree the dead rebels
be wrapped in afghan rugs.
We'll make little silver shackles for the children
We'll ride into the sunset
under the sweet coo
of the hangman's ropes
Cause I love you above any human being
Cause I love you above all the humankind
Do you want to have dinner with me
in the courtroom?
We will drink wine and we will dance
to the sound of the prisoners confessions
We will jump over their bodies
to go to the shrine
we will fall exhausted and we will fall naked
Would you like to spend this evening with me?
We'll order the chaplain to offer a mass
to any god you choose
We are above mercy
no confession we need
we will dance the prayers wearing
Our brilliants pickelhaubes
Cause I love you, above any Justice or God
And I love you, in all my sociopath ways
