    I bled on a pivotal stretch

    Like a clockwork Christ

    Bears sore stigmata, bored



    And as I threw Job, I drove

    Myself to a martyred wretch

    To see if I drew pity

    Or pretty litanies from the Lord



    So the plot sickened

    With the coming of days

    Ill millennia thickened

    With the claret I sprayed

    And though they saw red

    I left a dirty white stain

    A splintered knot in the grain

    On Eden’s marital aid



    So glad for the madness(x2)



    I walked the walls naked to the moon

    In Sodom and Babylon

    And through rich whores and corridors

    Of the Vatican

    I led a sordid Borgia on



    I read the Urilia text

    So that mortals wormed

    As livebait for the dead



    And as I broke hope, I choked

    Another Pope with manna peel

    Dictating to DeSade

    In the dark entrails of the Bastille

    And as He wrote, I smote

    A royal blow to the heads of France

    And in the scene of guillotines,

    I saw others, fallen, dance



    I was an incurable

    Necromantic old fool

    A phagadaena that crawled

    Drooling over the past

    A rabid wolf in a shawl

    A razor’s edge to the rule

    That the stars overall

    Were never destined to last



    So glad for the madness(x2)



    I furnaced dreams, a poet, foe of sleep

    Turning sermons with the smell

    On Witchfinder fingers

    Where bad memories lingered

    Burning, as when Dante

    Was freed to map Hell



    I sired schemes and the means

    To catch sight of the seams

    And the factories inbetween...



    And midst the lips and the curls

    Of this cunt of a world

    In glimpses I would see

    A nymph with eyes for



    Eyes of fire that set all life aflame

    Lights that surpassed art

    In sight , that no intense device of pain

    Could prise their secrets from my heart



    I knew not Her name

    Though her kiss was the same

    Without a whisper of shame

    As either Virtue or Sin’s

    And pressed to Her Curve

    I felt my destiny swerve

    From damnation reserved

    To a permanent spin...



    So glad for the madness(x2)
