lirik lagu antipope - house of the harlot

Loading...

we caught the tread of dancing feet
as we loitered down the moonlit street
inside, above the din and fray
we heard the loud musicians play

the ‘treues liebes herz’ of strauss
as we stood beneath the harlot’s house
the shadows raced across the blind
like black leaves wheeling in the wind

like strange mechanical grotesques
making fantastic arabesques

we watched the ghostly dancers spin
to thе sound of h~rn and violin
like wire~pulled automatons
slim silhouеtted skeletons

went sliding through the slow quadrille
their laughter echoed thin and shrill
they took each other by the hand
and danced a stately saraband

sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed
a phantom lover to her breast
sometimes a horrible marionette
came out, and smoked a cigarette
upon the steps like a living thing
behind the shadows seemed to sing
then, turning to my love, i said:
“the dead are dancing with the dead.”

but she – she heard the violin
and left my side, and entered in:
love passed into the house l~st
now she is whirling with the dust

then suddenly the tune went false
the dancers wearied of the waltz
the shadows ceased to wheel and whirl
i knew that soon would be my turn

i saw a shade so familiar
with an eerie glow in the eyes of her
she made a gesture as to beckon
me, to join the ranks with the fallen throng

i lost the struggle deep within
so she took my hand and lead me in
into the darkened house of l~st
where lover’s blood turns into rust

and so with cold fingers entwined
we dance until the end of time
slowly here, forever, falling
falling lovely and amazing
and down the long and silent street
the dawn, with silver~sandaled feet
crept like a frightened girl
and banged her fist on the door:

let me in!
let me in!
let me in!
let me in!

let me in!
let me in!
let me in!
let me in!
