THE DARK YOUNG

TETRAGRAMOPHONE

Pay tribute to the beat, for you are its bidden slave
The music is relentless, it rocks you to your grave
Show reverence to your new Lord, Tetragramophone
As long as the d.j. keeps on spinning, we're never going home

Tell me that you love me, that's what I want to hear
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely to realize your greatest fear
We could dance to the beat, which thunders in our heads
We could dance till we're delirious, we could dance until we're dead

Writhing on the dancefloor, then dropping to your knees
I love the way the scratch-mix mixes with your pleas
Dance for me my loved one, my precious disco queen
Dance for your beloved, till you've ruptured your spleen

Disco inferno burnin' up your soul
You've danced for me before, why are you being cold?
Avert your eyes from the vid-screen, that's the Madonna you're looking at
Now, fall to your knees and beg forgiveness for acting up like that

You know you look so lovely with the black-light in your hair
The way the mirrored lights hit you, there's none that can compare
So, go on! Dance to the beat, which threatens to split our heads
We could dance ourselves so silly, we could dance until we're dead


FLOWER OF EVIL

On the tree of life, I am but a bitter fruit
Acrid to the palate, and overwhelming to the senses
In the garden of society, I am a blight
Not even the very worms of the earth dare partake of my flesh
A vampiric weed, I suck the life from my peers
I shun the light of day, and grow, hatefully, in the dark
Although I am alone, no wallflower am I
I am a flower of evil, and those that touch me...die


FEMME FATALE

Lady, you move me, with your skin so pale
So lifeless, and yet alluring.
Your hair is as black as raven's feathers, and wild as a lion's mane
Your blood-red lips beckon me, but your cold dark eyes push me back again.

O lady, how you kill me, how you set my soul aflame;
And yet, I know not even your name.
And so, I must remain
your secret lover from afar,
in some dark and distant
dream.

Belle Dame Sans Merci, with a glance you grab me
and drain me of my life's force.
Discarding my body, a lifeless empty husk,
the price paid for love.
