Marc Almond - Crime of Love lyrics
[Marc Almond - Crime of Love lyrics]
In an Ecbatana Palace all golds and silks
Demonic beauties adolescent Satans
Indulge in every sin to the music of the sea
Beautiful feast of the sins
Desires shine with brutal fiery light
Like harassed servants appetites
Go round decanting bright red wine
Dances floating on wedding song
Sway in a long swoon of sobs
Man and women sing in great chorales
Sing music trembling like the sea
So full of deep enchantment
In the sweetness of these things
Countryside blooms with roses
And night is a diamond
The loveliest of these bad angel
Is aged sixteen and crowned with flowers
Arms folded over ruffs and fringes
He dreams his eyes ablaze with tears
He pays no heed to cavorting
His siblings Satans try in vain
To lure him out of desolation
With a welcome of wide open arms
He doesn't fall for the blandishments
Distress places it's black butterfly
On that face forever set
To burn with anguish and despair
Demonic beauties adolescent Satans
Indulge in every sin to the music of the sea
Beautiful feast of the sins
Desires shine with brutal fiery light
Like harassed servants appetites
Go round decanting bright red wine
Dances floating on wedding song
Sway in a long swoon of sobs
Man and women sing in great chorales
Sing music trembling like the sea
So full of deep enchantment
In the sweetness of these things
Countryside blooms with roses
And night is a diamond
The loveliest of these bad angel
Is aged sixteen and crowned with flowers
Arms folded over ruffs and fringes
He dreams his eyes ablaze with tears
He pays no heed to cavorting
His siblings Satans try in vain
To lure him out of desolation
With a welcome of wide open arms
He doesn't fall for the blandishments
Distress places it's black butterfly
On that face forever set
To burn with anguish and despair
