From the collector’s edition of Dreams Of A False Divinity

(chanted)

She is the first and the last

The honoured one and the scorned one

The whore and the holy one

The wife and the virgin

She is barren and fecund

Born of her husband

Find her and live forever.

(sung)

Our holy lady of the night

I see her face in the red light

Maudlin

Magdalene

It’s time you came back again

Chorus: She’s the Madonna

The Madonna of Whores

She’s The Madonna

The Madonna of Whores

Sanctified, more than you can afford

Heaven’s sent

Our Lady Wicked

Our Lady Wise

You must submit

to be baptized.

Baptism in fire

Baptism in blood

Draw his ire and brave the flood

(chorus)

Watch the raven become a dove

A transmutation done for love

Artifice, Sacrifice

Communion with God; a personal vice

We must Suffer for salvation

Pray for an end to this creation

(chorus)
