I shiver as you dance on the grave of God
pages torn from the bible for sheet music
then set alight with a flick of Satan’s tongue
your words are pretty and sharp
like the way a knife glints under artificial light
you whisper sins like sweet nothings
I taste your depravity lingering on my lips
mouth the words
while my body sings a different tune
you call angels whores
and claim to have fucked them from heaven
the clattering of broken halos
the scream of falling angels
this is the heartbeat of hell
I flinch as you throw me in the fire
softness of my skin stripped to ribbons of flesh
then set alight with a flick of Satan’s tongue
you make agony euphoric
as you flirt with death and the Devil
sweet lyrics and a soft rhythm
but the two lovers turn on one another
like the gun you turn against the crowd
and fire for impact
you make suffering seductive
as the flames of hell fall from your mouth
you claim them
the disgraced devout
the unworthy worshipers
show them the passions of rage
and then set them alight
with a flick
of Satan’s tongue
