Description
dance with me, preciousthrough the city streets tonight
the tango of the unsuspecting
the type of dance that brings a smile
to an evil angel's face
let me lick my lips
savoring just what it will be like
how our souls merge for one moment
before the weaker dies
and the stronger lives on
into evil unspoken
into decadence your innocent mind
cannot begin to fathom
meet the face of your god
dark and deadly
meet the executioner
as he stalks you with a shiver first
and ends you with a blade
taste the air one final time
dearly departed
just one final moment
to cast a prayer into the wind
before the deaf ears of imaginary deities
fail you again
for i am the one
you should be praying to
i am the one
you should be begging to
i am the one
who smiles the smile of a villain.
the eyes of a saint inside a sinner
the wolf in sheep's clothing;
i am the one
conducting this dance
until your life is no more.
dance with me, pet
and savor the night with me.
kiss the wind one final time
and close your eyes to sleep.

"...meet the face of your god." You forget, I have. This is so you -- even if you no longer bite, those of us who saw our god once in a Philly street remember and forgive. And perhaps even love a little.

I am glad they forgive. I am unworthy of love. But forgiveness assuages this devil's soul just the same.

Trust me, you leave us with a smile on our faces.

Oh hell yes! The final stanza resounds the same as mine. Depictions, depictions, depictions!
Now, how in Earth's name did I forget to watch you?

song of the sad assassin
by why?
we lifted the body from the water like a gown
you took off your bra to wrap the wound
though the man was dead, and there was no need
then your face turned red, when you said to me
i'll suck the marrow out
and rape your hollow bones yoni
alone putting three coins into a washing machine
next to a caulked cracked wall
in the basement on fairmount street
putting three quarters into a washing machine
next to a caulked cracked wall
in the basement, i feel
like a loop of the last eight frames of film
before a slow motion lee harvey oswald
gets shot in the gut and killed,
alone putting three coins into a washing machine
next to a caulked cracked wall
in the basement on fairmount street
billy the kid did what he did and he died

I'd never heard this before. Quite interesting. I enjoy the lyrics a bit more on their own, but the music itself is different; unique. Thank you for sharing.
Am glad somebody caught the Dexter reference.
