(A lone sorrowful female voice whispers)
Within grey cloaks
With eyes
Wired shut
I still remember that special night
When we ran to our motel room
You and me
Two new lovers
Soon to be baptized
By Father Love
After Sabbath
On a beautiful sunny
Sunday afternoon
I can remember us
Making wild promises
High
On future plans
To the watching jealous
Sun and Moon
For in love's rising smoke and heat at dusk
We swan in a strange flux like Tarzan and Jane
Happy in love's
Deep Lagoon
Before Anteros struck
Like Captain Ahab
With his sharp harpoon
And so now
I walk on
Alone
Choking on the black dust of the Gehenna sand dunes
Condemned for eternity
To dream
Of entering
That sacred room
Outside Pandemonium's Gates
Protected by Architrenius the Arch-weeper
And the Algiz runes
So now I
Sing like a young Frabrato
In Gey Hinnom
This Valley of Wailing
Singing a lullaby
For a second chance
In a Second Kingdom
Where souls of lost women are cleansed for freedom
Made pure
To go to Heaven
In wisdom
For tragic
Is Death's
Dying day's decay
And if my God could see me,
He'd sing
You did it your way,
Arabella
And that's price
Of love
In Gehenna
You'll pay
For
O' sacred
Is Deaths
Dying day's decay
A soft kiss
To open
New gates
To escape Anteros old memory books
To find familiar places where beloved memories
Once played
So here's to you
Lord
Forgive me
Forgive me
Show mercy
Show mercy
Take me outside Pandemonium's gates
Before it's too late
To those who once
Loved us
For you are a God of justice
And blessed are we who wait for you
Walking
The sand dunes of Gehenna
Always looking for that
Sacred White Room
After we've been stuck by Anteros
Like Captain Ahab
With his sharp harpoon
