Beneath Cathedral Walls

This stormy night my love will be immortal!
For all eternity I longed for my undying bride!

The bloody work, so grim
I slice apart the weeping skin
Their scent just like my memories still vivid and so fresh
Take measure, start to thrust
The saw dissects with hungry lust
A mason sculpting flesh

No doubt can make me falter
I'll marry her at the very altar
Fifteen stories, right above
But first I will profess my love

In darkness, deep beneath cathedral walls
Lightning strikes, life is returned, once and for all

Wait, what is that sound?
Footsteps on the cobblestone!
Who dares to interrupt?
I will slit their throats, right to the bone!
Wait, it's just the vermin...
Paranoia feasts on me!
But it's all worth it for my dearest bride to be

We will wander through the streets unpeopled
Prancing, almost dancing to the silence of the night
Her everlasting beauty will forever be regal
'Tis my desire, it's fulfillment in sight!

The cutouts, accurate!
My needlework immaculate
Bit by bit I piece together everything and all for her!
The farce of Ingolstadt!
The Swissman failed but I will not
Dilettantish amateur!

No doubt can make me falter
She'll marry me at the very altar
Fifteen stories, right above
But first I will bring back my love

In darkness, deep beneath cathedral walls
Lightning strikes for her return, once and for all

This stormy night my love becomes immortal!
For all eternity she will be my undying bride!

Wait, I hear a sound!
Furious cries are coming near!
It's the outraged townsfolk!
But they won't get me, I will disappear!
First I need to finish
The lynch mob is in search for me!
But I'll be long gone and my dearest bride with me

We will wander through the streets unpeopled
Prancing, almost dancing to the silence of the night

A tender touch engendered much, but barely legal
Twisted my desires to the darkest of delights
Their innocence and ignorance, would prove to be fatal
I waited till the fall of dusk, the dimming of the lights

I visited my muses with a tiny little needle
Kissed them all goodnight and brought them down here, outright
They did their parts for me, deep beneath the cathedral
Now all are one and she is mine! My undying bride!
