about

The first song I composed for my solo project, Pulse of Purgatory. It's the start of a concept story which will unveil itself as more songs are produced.

lyrics

"I, Death, have the greatest pleasure of presenting you with a tale... of remarkable tragedy. Which all begins with an odious ophid and a fine glass of Zin".

It stains like blood
Upon my well fashioned suit
This vibrant color so dark
Bask in aroma so exquisite
Why am I to struggle?
What have I consumed?

I see the serpent (whom dawns it's head)
Fangs injecting it's venom (my body frozen)
I collapse to the floor (with her on top)
Pinning me with persistence (my body goes limp)
My thoughts gone errant (how am I subdued?)
Fear slithers down my spine (who dares intrude?)

CHORUS
Ophidian-woman
Come lay with me, my dear
Bring me a glass of wine
In this moment divine

Drown me in this River
I mustn't see tomorrow
For if I do survive
All my horrors come to life

Ophidian
you coiling fiend
choke me downward
with your serpent's tongue
I see the truth in your eyes
That you mean to take my life
