1. A HOUSE OF ILL REPUTE

Standing there next to another more in grace
To choose wrong, to choose right
One more step, no looking back
Submission her middle name
She takes my hand
And makes me follow
Down to her dungeon
Yet I'm the one in control

Her chest, her confidence
Unveiled only for my eyes to see
Then false love, great sin
I leave gold, I leave you bleed


2. THE RIVER

Watching you bathe in the river
Watching you struggle in the river
Watching you drown in the river
Watching you float away in the river


3. SLUMBER SOUL

Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber
Through the cypress forest sighing
Whisper me malice, damned demons of despair

A solar eclipse in my heart

It was in the pale garden of death
The horrible coma called living
That fell out from a poppy moon
Like notes of some far opiate tune

A dark slumber in my soul
