Bathory Aria

[I. Benighted Like Usher]

Snuffed tapers sighedAs Death left impressingHis crest of cold tears on the Countess

Benighted like ill-fated UsherThe House of Bathory shrouded'Neath griefs dark facade

If only I could have weptIn mourning by Her sideI would have clasped Her so tightLike storm-beached AphroditeDrowned on Kytherean tides

And Kissed HerFor from Her aloneMy lips would have knownEnigmas of shadowy vistas

Where pleasures took fleshAnd pain, remorselessCame freezing the breathOf raucous life hushed unto whispers

Benighted.

Inhaling the pale waning moonlight that creptThrough the crypt of Her Lord who so lucidly slept

Benighted.

Exhaling the wail of black widowhood's tollWaxing eternal night entered Her soul

[II. A Murder of Ravens in Fugue]

Now haranguing grey skiesWith revenge upon lifeGnathic and SapphicNeeds begged gendercide

Delusions of Grandier denounced the revoltOf descrying cursed glass, disenchanted in vaultsEncircled by glyphs midst Her sin-sistered cult

With hangman's abandon She plied spiritworldsTo Archangels in bondageFrom light to night hurledCast down to the earth where torment would unfurl.......

But soon,Her tarot provedHybrid rumours spread like tumoursWould accrueAnd blight Her starsHowever scarredTo better bitter truthsOf cold bloodbaths

As bodies roseIn rigid drovesTo haunt Her from theirShallow burials imposedWhen wolves exhumedTheir carthen wombsWhere heavy frosts had laboured longTo bare their wounds

To the depths of Her soul they pursuedWielding their poison they flewLike a murder of ravens in fugue

And knowing their rapturesWould shatter Her dreamsShe clawed blackened books for damnation's reprieveBaneful cawed canons on amassed enemies

So Hallow's EveAs She receivedLike Bellona to the ballThose enemiesFell-sisters heavedHer torturiesCross stained flagstonesTo Her carriage reined to flee

But She knew She must brave the night throughThough fear crept a deathshead o'er the moonLike a murder of ravens in Fugue

For each masked, jewelled gaze held dread purposeHorror froze painted eyes to cold staresAnd even Her danceIn the vast mirrors castLooked the ill of Her futureIf fate feasted there....

[III. Eyes That Witnessed Madness]

In an age crucified by the nails of faithWhen rank scarecrows of christ blighted landsAn aloof Countess born an obsidian wraithDared the abyss knowing well She was damnedHer life whispered grief like a funeral marchTwisted and yearning, obsessed an entrancedWith those succumbing to crueltyCrushed 'neath the gait of Her danceA whirlwind of fire that swept through the briersOf sweet rose Her thickets of black thorn had grasped...

She demanded the Heavens and forever to gleanThe elixir of Youth from the pureWhilst Her lesbian fantasiesReamed to extremesO'er decades unleashedCame for blood's silken cure

But Her reign ended swiftlyFor Dark Gods dreamt too deepTo heed Her pleas

When Her gaolers were assailedWith condemnations from a priestWho'd stammered ritesIn the dead of nightFor maidens staining winding sheets

And She postured proudWhen Her crimes were trowelledAnd jezebelled to peasant lipsThough She smelt the firesThat licked limbs higherTo the tortured cunts of accomplices

So ends this twisted fable's worthAnd though spared the pyre's biteBy dint of nobled bloodlined birthHer sins (crimes) garnered Her no respite

Forever severed from the thrill of coming nightWhere slow Death alone could grant Her flight

"The Spirits have all but fled judgementI rot, alone, insane,Where the forest whispers puce laments for meFrom amidst the pine and wreathed wolfsbaneBeyond these walls, wherein condemnedTo the gloom of an austere tombI pace with feral madness sentThrough the pale beams of a guiltless moonWho, bereft of necrologies, thusCommands creation over the earthWhilst I resign my lips to deathA slow cold kiss that chides rebirthThough one last wish is bequeathed by fateMy beauty shalt wilt, unseenSave for twin black eyes that shalt come to takeMy soul to peace or Hell for company"
