Death Valley

in hedonistic tinseltown catacombs
safe from the eyes of apostolic drones
the blessed misbegotten and misunderstood
praise the saints of pagan hollywood
statues cry perfume and poppy tears
the ethic of denial yields to new frontiers
gods of blue glamour are holding court
lust is eternal and love is sport
Mad phantoms cast long shadows
to strobe the many-colored delights
in death valley
in death valley
the magus prays angry
in death valley
urge and fury of kaleidoscopic trance
electric lucifer never forbids
revealing lost secrets of the pyramids
this tantra-chic lyceum of inverted roles
declares the old dances tedious
"we are the vanguard of seduction
decedent and eternal
we are the scarlet sun-drunk
monarchy illuminated and maternal"
frozen in time
forever young
stars in naked splendor
knowledge is delight
the icons chant frenzy
in this bacchanal of forbidden wisdom
Pull back the skin on this hedonist to find the mystic beneath
Home of Heavenly bodies

I keep my mementos well hid
I prefer a past that remains unseen
This legacy of consecrated toil
This everest rotating scheme
Dreams are beatified pablum
the folly of aim, the conceit of desire
My myths are a cautionary tale
With all frontiers drained dry
by the fortunate that came before
Rising from rank and file sleep
is more perilous than storming the shore
Dreams are regurgitated manna
my scrapbook of lies,
you can have it when I die
This purgatory has gone stale
I feel like a freak among the beautiful
and a derelict among the dutiful
Everything is trivial to the doomed or the damned
My nihilism is a burden
but it makes me laugh
from time to time
Dreams are a a sanctified fetish
my personal god has her hand upon the twine
The future is my mistress
and the safe word is die
If you're coward enough to share your wealth
you should be man enough to kill yourself
