Covetous Glance
Unholy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, beauteous one Goddess of all men
She has a violent craving for me
I'm the minister of enraged copulation
Supporter of violent passion
I grew out of childlike anima to find
True personal love
Is it me who has Covetous Glance ?
Think Clearly with no forbidden thoughts
Everything is acceptable
Your animus is personification
Of Dream Warrior
With four Left Hand Path symbols

"Come o lonely warrior or drown"
...Her divine body clothed with pleasure
"Come..."

I watch Her charm with delight
Together we raise the veil of shadow
Two subjects, one will connect to Cosmos
I am the woman and you are the man





Covetous Glance
Opium Odor
