    First pressing of 'The Perfect Violence', our debut album.

lyrics

I hoped that my eyes would catch you
Framed in bright moonlight and laughing
A black ball gown sweeps the floor
Skimming curves
You hungrily watch my hips sway
I drink you up

Will you walk with me in the dark garden
A living ossuary entwined and never parting
Will you dance with me in the dark graveyard
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death

You sing ‘Cara Mia’ to me
Locking eyes
Kisses like moths dancing
up my arm
I offer up my neck
blood red lips smiling
In our home the children scream
as they run around with knives

Will you walk with me in the dark garden
A living ossuary entwined and never parting
Will you dance with me in the dark graveyard
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death
This love must be forever
This love must never rot
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death

We tango beneath dead stars
Melt into a perfect
amorous chimera
I lie with you in life my love
Nothing changes in death
I reach for your hand it’s still there

Will you walk with me in the dark garden
A living ossuary entwined and never parting
Will you dance with me in the dark graveyard
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death
Will you walk with me in the dark garden
A living ossuary entwined and never parting
Will you dance with me in the dark graveyard
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death

This love must be forever
This love must never rot
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death
Will you walk with me in the dark garden
A living ossuary entwined and never parting
Will you dance with me in the dark graveyard
This love requires no breath
This love must defy Death
