The 13th Caesar lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The 13th Caesar lyrics When Joan was burnt He knew malevolence At the heart of all A cold and jagged abyss bled of sense The throne he earnt Through God s benevolence Started his own fall Clothing ragged dogma in his own magnificence Here the stench, the gold events The bold inventions of the will Luxuries and splendours past the ken of mortal men Every wanton bent desire went fulfilled A Daemon sat upon the top of the world Like a Herod over Genesis They sand hosannas as his banners unfurled Kissing terrors with paralysis His brash canvas insulted the view Moving heaven and earth to please the Tumultitudes, whom his strange retinue drew To assert the thirteenth Caesar The 13th Caesar Ichor kicked inside his veins The 13th Caesar War was licked for shame The 13th Caesar Sicker, but just as vein The 13th Caesar Gilles De Rais When Joan was burnt He knew malevolence At the heart of all He swore henceforth he would serve evil alone Here the stench, the gold events The insurrection of his will Theatre and feasts past the ken of mortal men Every wanton bent desire went fulfilled A Daemon sat upon the top of the world Like a Herod over genesis Devils sand hosannas as his banners unfurled Striking terror into menaces Suetonius and Ovid Filled his moonstruck dreams With the purple of Rome His Venus of arena-blood was dead And he was storming home. song lyrics
