Necropolis
Atrocity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night of my favor
Every night I'm gonna meet you
I love your coldness
Let me touch your deadly emptiness

Necropolis

Faded flowers
I like the smell of rotten beauty
Forsaken gravestone
Every morning I find myself lying on

Necropolis

Scene of horror, place of peace
Theatre of macabre, everlasting feast
Forbidden pleasure, my secret love
Wistful trauma, eternal resting place
Disembody lust, your body is dust
Blackened lady, womb of the dead

Darkness warms me
Dancing all night on the graves
My sweet 'tender'
One day I'll join you forever

Lo que pasa es que la mayoría conoció a Atrocity muy tarde y no se han molestado en conocer lo primero, léase lo bueno.

Saw these supporting Death at the Astoria London in the early 90's. These guys knew how to fucking play! Great band, great album!
