lyrics

Silent pictures, a glass of red wine.
Our favorite nightmares running through our minds
With a whisper all my troubles fade into a womb of vertigo
Bending visions climb

Shall I see the world your way?
Shall I see the world that way?
Show your world to me, shades of black.
Aureoles nostalgic glow
Idol in baphomet pose
Bathing our thoughts in shades of black

Unclean emotions bleed colors so bleak
Synapses exploding as the moment reaches peak
Ghoulish disposition, I can’t resist your 1920s glow
Everything that’s mine is now yours to indulge

Carnal bliss, superstition
Receding into the depths where nightmares are made
We are gathering
All things un-illuminate
Join me in these vibrant depths
We are gathering

Shall I see the world your way?
Shall I see the world that way?
Show your world to me, shades of black.
Aureoles nostalgic glow
Idol in baphomet pose
Show your nature, show me everything, show me your pain.
