The Kiss

from Salome LIVE by Dendera Bloodbath

lyrics

I hear nothing, why does he not cry out?
There is a silence, a terrible silence, I heard something hit the ground
Je t'aime la bouche Iokannan, I will bite red lips like ripe fruit
Je t'aime la bouche Iokannan, I will kiss thy mouth
Thine eyes so full of rage and scorn, wherefore are they shut?
Thy tongue, scarlet snake darting poison, the red viper stirs no more
You spoke evil of me, as a harlot, a wanton woman
Now I still live and thou art dead, thy head belongs to me
I could throw it to the dogs, vultures circling overhead
Thou wert the man I loved above all others, je t'aime la bouche Iokannan
Nothing in the world so white as thy body, nothing on earth so black as thy hair
In the whole world nothing so red as thy mouth, your voice a censer, perfuming the air
Thou hast seen thy God, Iokannan, but I thou didst never see
Still I hunger for your body, neither wine nor apples enough to eat
I was a virgin, you took my virginity
I was chaste, but your passion burned me
I have kissed thy mouth Iokannan, a bitter taste on thy lips
Was it blood or was it love? They say love hath a bitter taste
The mystery of love greater than the mystery of Death
