SARPEDON LYRICS
"Demo 2006" (2006 Demo)
1. In Death's Design
2. In the Sign of Sin
3. To Some a Child
1. In Death's Design
To me you are a carnivore — a carnivorous flower
Deadly sharp dagger
Dressed in white
I cleanse me from your seven sins in an absinthe-filled shower
Dancing to the silence of the night
From the carousel of everyday
I emerge like an apprentice
With silver in hand
I let you read my inner self, and drink from my bleeding heart
A linen-swept memory of devotion to art
I silently slurp of my poison
While you slowly undress in my dreams
To the music of the icterine warbler
I devote myself to what only seems
My spit, your wine
I'm lost inside your poisonous shrine
You've created me In Death's Design
Inside my body, soul and mind
A creature so hellishly divine
You've created me In Death's Design
An evening breeze through my wide open door
Brings bits and pieces of what was before
A glimpse of sunlight, of my previous life
In destiny's widow, my melancholy's wife
It was your eyes
That woke me from my slumber
It was the look in your face
That made me cry
My spit, your wine
I'm lost inside your poisonous shrine
Youve created me In Death's Design
Inside my body, soul and mind
A creature so hellishly divine
You've created me In Death's Design
2. In the Sign of Sin
Come gather, hear the seventh sea
Mysterious whispers calling
As smoke increases I ascend
Sails raised, into the eye of it all
Ahead dance starlit mermaids
A crimson scene from ancient lore
In the Sign of Sin
In the Lake of Absinthe
But draped in black and pushed away
In the Shelters of Life
In the Calls of the Raven
But the pathway of temptation leads astray
The din is thickening all around
Clouds wrap the sky in darkness
I am the centre of the storm
The steersman's screaming a new sight
Mountain of ice is gleaming
A ship is sailing; soul's transcend
In the Sign of Sin
In the Lake of Absinthe
But draped in black and pushed away
In the Shelters of Life
In the Calls of the Raven
But the pathway of temptation leads astray
I remember dawn, so crisp and bright
Now hear my gasping breath
Eyes of terror gaze into the starlight
The evening rain awakes my self
I rise from a deadly slumber
Into my future I will journey
In the Sign of Sin
In the Lake of Absinthe
But draped in black and pushed away
In the Shelters of Life
In the Calls of the Raven
But the pathway of temptation leads astray
3. To Some a Child
My shoes are wet
From rain and grits
I walk alone
Through muddy pits
The late-night streets
Of the late-night city
Where late-night sweets
Come late-night witty:
(Sire) How clean is your conscience?
(Can you proudly stand tall?)
(Sire) Are you certain your face can't be seen?
in the neon light
There's irony
In the empty grins
Swept in agony
Beneath tired white skins
The late-night
In its late-night galore
To some a child
To some a whore
To some a child
To some a child
To some a whore
