The Withering Rose of Purity Lyrics


Into the moonless night I spit forth the venom of thy spell

A curse unto the adversary, whose essence shall wither away

...And so shall the Rose of Purity, wither away

I am the freezing touch which takes life away

I am the one who's soul is unclean

A master of dreams, awakened to the night

I haunt the astral and reap the mortal life

Through the moonlight's mist

I come to your soul

And beseech you with the kiss

Of bitterness and woe

Below the Earth I dwell

In lust for the crimson sin

As the Rose of Purity withers to ash

I remember the taste, of blood in my mouth

Veiled by the night

I enter your soul

Which withers from the purity I defile

I am the dreams of lust and desire

A demon of sins of the flesh

Cold as the winter's breath, infernal as the forbidden wine

The virgin flesh of a maiden, like the flowering white rose

Defiled by the lust which hungers, penetrated in a thirst for sin

To be one with darkness, I transcend
