I Maldoror
by: Secrets Of The MoonCome sinners
Begotten accomplished
So I delineate my atrocity
I rise upon your thrones(I
Come kings and queens
I received life like a wound
When did you see that all once abloom
Withered under my blessed wings
Come whore and punter
Punisher and slave
I stuck you mug way to rude
Into Pandora's box
I Maldoror
My name is not important
Black diamond shine on me

Judge and executioner
Through blood and flesh I crown my work
I never wanted it to die(Four winged phoenix
Seven winged Lucifer
Seven winged phoenix
Four winged Lucifer"

This life is so amazing
Have I told you lately that all you ever loved is dead?

I had a dream that all you ever loved is set aflame
Four winged phoenix
Seven winged Lucifer
Four winged phoenix
Seven winged Lucifer"((I Maldoror
