Momus - Madame de Sade lyrics
[Momus - Madame de Sade lyrics]
Extreme in everything
With a perverse erotic imagination
The Like of which has never been seen
Imperious, choleric, irascible
Madame de Sade is my name take me as I am
For I shall not change!
Moonlight fantasia nocturne of silk
Azure eternity pleasure and guilt
Violence and beauty eclipse of the sun
Obsession
What a piece of work is a man
A witty mind once put it thus:
Why struggle to understand
What you can penetrate with a thrust
I who have been happy since
Indulging in these crimes
Callous to others' pain became
Indifferent to my own
Shall suffer the torture gladly
With which human vengeance goads me
Shall climb the steps of the scaffold
As to a throne of glory
Moonlight fantasia nocturne of silk
Azure eternity pleasure and guilt
Violence and beauty eclipse of the sun
Obsession
