The Monstress (feat. Tiago Oliveira)

The walls of the Gods Were no match For the poisons of Love And my bed is stained With sea and traitor blood As they clean the halls And blame me for it all My throbbing thoughts of you Disturbed the silence In the Temple Could I have foreseen Our eyes crossing once Would shape the poems of Eternity And insult Love? And trust was only dust I watch my image of you rust Decisions made in lust Will always come for us Black liquids in satin Forcing you to open God hands rip your sweetness Claim you as my mistress I hear the snakes in my head They know that trusting you Has only made me cursed And left for dead Now tell them I'm insane That I hide 'cause I am ashamed Go spread fear in my name Blinded by your scent Dark ego clouded my mind And I would ruin Perfection Just to own it for a while And trust was only dust I watch my image of you rust Decisions made in lust They always come for us (Black liquids in satin) I hear the snakes in my head (Forcing you to open) They know that trusting you (God hands rip your sweetness) Has only made me cursed (Claim you as my mistress) And left for dead (Blind love is but cruelty) So I'll honour my Fate (I have ruined Beauty) The Monstress in every tale (God hands mock my weakness) In my island of stone (Pull me from my mistress) I rot and hate They tell you are insane They say you hide 'Cause you are ashamed Spread fear in your name Away from the Gods I'm mocked in the collective poetry I am Gorgon I am Woman I am Beast No one ever questions What was done to me I hear the snakes in my head They know that trusting you Has only made me cursed And left for dead
