Årabrot - Maldoror's Love

For your love I'll pip the shell 'til it breaks
And releases a thousand hounds
For your love I'll sleep centuries of sleep in
The deserts of your soul
For your love I'll wear flower petals that
Wither in the burning sun
For your love I'll stand by the window and
Lick your tears 'til dawn

For your love I'll seek God among the serpents howling
Who do you love?
For your love my heart will beat the centuries
Of woe they call the blues
For your love I'll slouch towards Golgatha, hail,
Who do you love?
For your love I will wander endlessly in the
spices of your perfumes

There's nothing as cold as the faces of statues (for your love)
And the sea is only meant for drowning, yet we're on pedestals (for your love)
My wife is holding my hand there on the beach (for your love)
I'm drowning my sorrows in the crushing waves (for your love)

Oh, for your love
