Unto Ashes
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I love you for the grief that lurks within
2
Your languid spirit, and because you wear
3
Corruption with a vague and childish air,
4
And with your beauty know the depths of sin;
5
Because shame cuts you and holds you like a gin,
6
And virtue dies in you slain by despair,
7
Since evil has you tangled in its snare
8
And triumphs on the soul good cannot win.
9
I love you since you know remorse and tears,
10
And in your troubled loveliness appears
11
The spot of ancient crimes that writhe and hiss
12
I love you for your hands that calm and bless,
13
The perfume of your sad and slow caress,
14
The avid poison of your subtle kiss.
