Blood Tigers

Verse 1

It’s your craven eyes

Bloody red rhapsodic sin

They kiss me

I’m sailing off to fairly lands

Upon the sugar and the sand

I’m baited by your breath

Chorus

We’re perfect, sweet as rain

Their twilight garden

Desecrated

We’re banished

Again

We’re splendidly insane

Two creatures

Aflame

Like tigers untamed

Verse 2

Are they serious?

Are we dirt amongst the doves?

Aromatic to their acrid scent

Iridescent is the color

Of their jealousy

They’ve hunted our kind for centuries

Chorus

Because we’re perfect, sweet as rain

Their twilight garden

Desecrated

We’re banished

Again

We’re splendidly insane

Two creatures

Aflame

Like tigers untamed

Bridge

Our nights

Are a wanton dive

Into their emptiness

The gloam has struck the clocktower

Shall we trade lives for fantasies?

But first

I need you to fill me

Come taste nape and neck

By the Anointed's throne

Then fade into mist

Before the morning comes

Chorus 2

True crimes

Of satisfaction

Seek me out

And never feel clean again

Verse 3

So inglorious

Underneath the butcher’s arch

Thousands of tears they say

Have flushed through the ravine

Yet here we are

Frozen in motion for all eternity

Caressed by lock and wrist

Chorus

We’re perfect, sweet as rain

Their twilight garden desecrated

We’re banished

Again

We’re splendidly insane

Two creatures

Aflame

Like tigers untamed

Chorus 2

True crimes

Of satisfaction

Seek me out

And never feel clean again
