They ran through cathedral halls
And invited me to the ballroom
Where they were celebrating
An evening of no other
Devil's night
Opium brains
And lethargic corpses
Pulled me in
And staged me upon a mural
Where they gathered
For the dance of bones
I knew only nameless faces
With subservient eyes
I was falling with phantoms
To operatic love songs
And a brain dead symphony
I lost my heart to evil
Dressed in wounds
And fell apart with the music
That my mind
Had orchestrated
Out of beauty
And madness
