Through the bowels of New Orleans

We sank like blackened lead

But the sweet desire for death

Still clung like feathers on tarred skin

I lay enraptured

I was driven by the kill

In a house diseased and rank

That motherless child i found within

Her eyes of porcelain

held a stormy sea of tears

Four years of fasting broke

I felt her flowing down my throat

I lay enraptured

I was driven by the kill

But her heart beat like thunder

Beating with the will to live

His finger taunting

With her mothers corpse he danced

Creeping agony upon me

Through my ecstasy i heard him laugh

And i became that which i abhor

I crossed the path on a tempests roar

For evil is a point of view

God kills and so shall we

On the shores of a crimson sea

In a nursery of fever and plague

He led me to an infant bed

There she lay a black rose

The damned child from the night before

His poison flowed within her

God turned in fear

The greatest treachery

Claudia was her name

I lay enraptured

I was driven by the kill

But her heart beat like thunder

Beating with the will to live

His finger taunting

With her mothers corpse he danced

Creeping agony upon me

Through my ecstasy i heard him laugh
