Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Bm G
The language in the dimmer rooms
F# Bm
Seems to represent the light source well
Bm G
How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
F# Bm
With the movement of the music and the madness
G F# Bm
That’s pulling me into this

Bm
And the shades of the lamps are woven red
G
The light, it stains and consecrates
A
Anointing all forgotten forms
F#
That swirl and smoke and haunt this place

Bm
The girls in gowns all nurse the dark
A
Pulling it near to their swelling breasts
G
And watch as it seeps to their hearts
F#
And beats within their virgin chests
Bm
And here I know seduction breeds

G
From wanton hearts that would seduce
A
And grows and spreads its vines and leaves
F#
Embracing those who might have moved
Bm
But now remain to drink the night

G
From vials black and thick with steam
A
With intoxicating delights
F# G F#
Would leave you drunk inside this dreeeeeeeeeeeam
Bm A G F#
And you watch them take the light from you

Bm F#
And you find yourself on a velvet couch,
F# Bm
Tasting the skin of a foreign girl
Bm F#
Her eyes are black and wet like oil
G Bm
And she ties your hands with a string of pearls
Bm
And you tremble like a frightened bird

F# G
As she closes in and captures you to place you
F#
In a silver cage deep within her poisoned womb
Bm A G
So once you’re safe inside, she might let you out
F# Bm F#
To fly in circles around the room

G F#
But its always night and there is no moon
Bm A G F#
And you wonder if you are alive
Bm A G F#
And you’re not sure if you want to be
Bm A G F#
But you drink her sweat like it was wine
G
And you lay with her
F#
On a bed of blue
G
And it’s awful sweet
F#
Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you

Bm A G F#
to you (repeat twice)

Bm A G F# (quickly and repeat four times)

Bm A G F#
