Artist: Crimson Moon
Album: Under The Serpentine Spell

Lyrics

Into the moonless night I spit forth the venom of thy spell
A curse unto thy adversary whose essence, shall wither away
...And so shall the rose of purity, wither

I am the freezing touch that takes life away
I am the one whose soul is unclean
A master of dreams, awakened to the night
I haunt the astral and reap the mortal life

Through the moonlight's mist
I come to your soul
And beseech you with the kiss
Of bitterness and woe

Below the depths I dwell
In lust for the crimson sin
As the rose purity turns to ash
I remember the taste of blood in my mouth

Veiled by the night
I enter your soul
Which withers from purity I defile
I am the dreams of lust and desire
A demon of sins of the flesh
Cold as the winter's breath, internal as the forbidden wine

The virgin flesh of a maiden, like the flowering white rose
Defiled by the lust which hungers, penetrated in a thirst for sin
To be one with darkness, I transcend
