All aboard, this ship bound for wreckage Sail ho, fuckers!
Who could foresee that this state of mind was forever? That we would never wake up from our nightmares?
That the black poison dripped onto our skin would burn us That the clean streams of time wouldn’t be able to wash it away…
Once these robes were worn as masquerade costumes The smooth velvet reviled hooks and razor claws That would not come of, cutting into the skin The harder we pulled the deeper its barbs dug in…
Until death do us part my fair ones We’re the kings and queens of the depraved undone In the filthy streets, our splendid court, this neon Babylon
We are the stars that refuse to shine No ships will navigate by our signs We are the tones that distort the chord In a world of perfection we are the flawed
We are the birds with broken wings The useless ones, we don’t believe in anything We believe in no gods left high above And there will be no angels where we go
We are the Ashen Nectar, we are the tainted well We are the Ashen Nectar, side by side we watch the world go by
We are the Ashen Nectar, the last poets of a dying breed We are Ashen Nectar, our skins our canvases, our paint the blood we bleed
All words were first spoken then stolen Onto paper splattered By the weakened hand in the dark room Visions and a life lay scattered
We are suns bent for darkness The stars that refuse to shine Artists of a different kind The ones that leave nothing behind
There is no clean white bed, for this dying bride Farewell…
We left our last pieces to be lost In forgotten dusty attics Where our blood has dried We were the ashen nectar fanatics
There will nothing left when we leave Our shadowy art will remain unseen As we step through the haze Silhouettes exiting this dream
We are the stars that refuse to shine No ships will navigate by our signs We are the tones that distort the chord In a world of perfection we are the flawed
We are the birds with broken wings The useless ones, we don’t believe in anything We believe in no gods left high above And there will be no angels where we go
We are the Ashen Nectar We are the tainted well We are the Ashen Nectar Side by side, we watch the world go by
We are the Ashen Nectar The last poets of a dying breed We are Ashen Nectar Our skins our canvases, our paint the blood we bleed
