Theatre Of Tragedy The Masquerader and Phoenix Lyrics

Hist! The sonorous orchestral ambience and the arabesque-stanc'd ballerina
Her wee feet in an alacritic mælstrom-twirl
And the dust-hurl with her tears blendeth
Egad! this quagmire
Pasteth her unaptly apt feet to the stage

Like the wither'd rose of the luciferous Eden
By the mummer'd-masquerader espied vigilly and mockingly
His behesting visage, tho' ruddily mummer'd 'tis
Embower'd and eddying oft and eft gloam by gloam

Her sweetness ne'er cloy, further! further!
His scratching and dallying hollow-heartéd eyes
Her b______ and vestal heart caress

And like the dove and bird of prey leapeth she aërily
Whileas the orchestra playeth on travailingly

His one and sole swath
With the pizzicato'd ensemble blendeth
And her umbral fœtal
scream
As the song climaxeth
And slowly dieth
Away...
