Godspeed in the Devil's Thunder

Honey and sulfur
Praeclarum Custodem Ovium Lupum


All Saints Day, the taint of rain
Blood and mud thunder all the same
To those who close their ranks to Gille's men


Bricqueville, Prelati and De Sille
Creatures of the dark creeping up and down the countryside
Little angels out to pasture once again


Torture garden rules of thumb apply
To sacred flesh and the naked eye
Goldothic this erotica
Stinking of honey and worse, sulfur


So black was the magic in this tragical kingdom
The superstitious grew
Wise to the wolves that surprised their children
Gagged in sacks and dragged back to


Tiffauges,
It's roads now home to a beautiful stranger
Lifting her veil
Spinning her lies
Tender eyes, never - ending danger


It grows
A rose that chose death for it's bed muck
Prickles in wait
Thanking her spies
Trickling thighs her only hiccup


And though she walks the forest trails
She'sfar from innocent or frail
Sha leads them down the path where darkness dwells


That night is rife with celebration
The tower sings
Where so much foul illumination
Strikes a lighthouse for the things
That slither and slather at the border of the pentagram
Mid sour dreams
A beauty pageant for the gathering damned
Of slaughtered lambs and tortured scream


Torture garden rules of thumb apply
To sacred flesh and the naked eye
Golgothic this erotica
Stinking of honey and worse, sulphur


So black was the magic in this tragical kingdom
In this castle of loup-garou
When moonstruck veins, inflamed, deranged on
A parcel of victims now tied to


Tiffauges,
Engorged on the hordes of the anorexic
Cherubim forced
Naked and blind
A holocaust mind designed their exit


A libertine so grim
Sometimes tore then limb from limb
Slitting their throats
Pissing on graves
Jesus saves but the devil made him


Praeclarum Custodem Ovium Lupum
