V Empire Or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein

Even a man who is pure in the heart 
And speaks in prayer by night 
May become a wolf when the wolf's bane blooms 
And the winter moon is bright" 


Listen to them 
The children of the night 
What sweet music they make 


Iniquitous 
I share Carmilla's mask 
A gaunt mephitic voyeur 
On the black side of the glass 
Peering through the mirror 
Deep dark and ominous 
Consorting themes, demons I weave 
Subservience from thee to lost 


I am Corinthian light 
A snake in flowers by night 
The last temptation of christ 
Evil in mortal... 


Disguise the guilt 
Sharp-eyed, impassive whore 
Burn the asafoetida 
and rank petriachor 
Lure me panthered Faustia 
With cunt and veiled womb 
To prowl thy inner sanctum walls 
In Tirgoviste to resume 
Control 


Seduction, my obsessive art 
A pantheon of tragedies inscribed upon the stars 
Like thistled ruin, garbed around thy heart 
Bacchanal Cinderella, desirious midnight passed 
Leaving thee as sacrifice asleep within my arms 
'Midst dreams od robed redemption versed in se**** aftermath 
When we ebb as tides together, carnal souls entwined 
And orgasms expire, come puppet wires and the blind 
(Purge) 
Fires work in me 
A lithe supremacy 
I tear asunder heaven as I would all enemies 
Impaler Lord 
Flesh upon the sword 
My lower lusts are sated, the greater herald war 


I am thirst, spearheaded hunger 
Sacrament and pain 
Nails raked in savagery 
When the cruel Countessa came 


Exalt! 
The Queen of death-white winter enthroned 
Evil resplendent, in dusk red seething skies 
Foam-flecked nightmares drag a moon 
Of Draconian design 


A love that never dies 
Nefarious silhouettes to rise 


When stars fall pale 
And to drown back in Her eyes 
Is to madden ghosts within 
To unhinge a thousand sins 
From Death's dark vale 


"Blessed be these spells of winter 
Unto us that wait with patience in 
This secret garden 
To storm our way into another 
As yes undone" 




Desert claims Eden 
And Hyperborean 
Visions of Utopia are driven from the sun 
Iconoclast 
Before thee angels clasped 
In nakedness their ochre flesh 
Shall yield to thy advance 


She is all to me 
Mysterious, alive 
The howling in the deep woods 
When cold festal stars aligned 


A lurid moon looms; phosphorent, evil 
Yesod vested in despotic upheaval 
Silvering wolves that scarlet forest snow 
Forgotten ones ebter as above, so below 


The trees groan aghast as ghostly pallored clouds are rent 
When the drunken earth heaves, sweep aside seas to ascend 
From Sheol's dank haunted wilderness 
Thy seal upon Nuit's starry vault to incense the sleepers, 
dead 


Queen of Winter, throned 
The murderess lurked in vulgar caresses 
Vestal masturbation 
(Purity) Overthrown 


Darkness 
In raven feathered dress 
Sides with Death at chess 
Their pawns are many and the enemy 
Powerless 
When the miscreants fell dead 
She took to conjuring spells in the cusp of the night 
And the bestial floor shook with terrible life 
I rise before thee Queen 
To feed our lusts on the blood of the weak 
To rule heaven and worlds crawling beneath 
Satanic Tyranny
