Lucien Levy-Dhurmer
Like a cut stone, I have many facets. Some are beautiful others less. Some are shining others are dull. You can't never see them all at the same time. There is always a hidden side. My secret garden filled with treasures and corpses. I try to show best ego but sometimes I fail.Lucien Levy-DhurmerJean Delville

I want to fly into your sun Need faith to make me numb Live like a teenage christ I'm a saint, got a date with suicideOh Mary, Mary To be this young is oh so scary Mary, Mary To be this young im oh so scaredI wanna live, I wanna love But it's a long hard road, out of hellYou never said forever, could ever hurt like thisSpin my way out of hell, there's nothing left this soul to sell Live fast and die fast too How many times to do this for you?Mary, Mary To be this young im oh so scared
Hidden behind merciful shadows, beyond the cruel daylight, living to hunt and kill, we are the... damned children of the night. Dragging our immune existence through thousands of centuries and from dusk to dawn we suffer from our immortality.Hosts contaminate our tombs and crosses burn our skin, you can kill us a thousand times, but we're the ones, who will always remain ... - In Pain ... In Pain: "I'm the resurrection-man, who steals his own corpse and abducts himself to the beloved catacombs and vaults".Death and decay, cadaverous smell, for us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell, and only the stigmata could be able to betray the sombre existence of the former days.After the dead Lover's kiss you fall into a dream, but with your second birth you're a prince in our mournful realm. By day, when a million suns are killing with their shine, the cold, dark crypts are saving me ... and mine. Death and decay, cadaverous smell, for us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell, and only the stigmata could be able to betray the sombre existence of the former days ...
we must suffer to free our pain can you help us to find our way you're here to stay stay here in paradise I'd end this moment to be with you through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you only to stay stay here in paradise only to stay so lonely from this maelstrom free are you from this maelstrom to be with you
