INSVLA - The Monstress (feat. Tiago Oliveira) Lyrics

The walls of the Gods
Were no match
For the poisons of Love
And my bed is stained
With sea and traitor blood
As they clean the halls
And blame me for it all
My throbbing thoughts of you
Disturbed the silence
In the Temple
Could I have foreseen
Our eyes crossing once
Would shape the poems of Eternity
And insult Love?
And trust was only dust
I watch my image of you rust
Decisions made in lust
Will always come for us
Black liquids in satin
Forcing you to open
God hands rip your sweetness
Claim you as my mistress
I hear the snakes in my head
They know that trusting you
Has only made me cursed
And left for dead
Now tell them I'm insane
That I hide 'cause I am ashamed
Go spread fear in my name
Blinded by your scent
Dark ego clouded my mind
And I would ruin Perfection
Just to own it for a while
And trust was only dust
I watch my image of you rust
Decisions made in lust
They always come for us
(Black liquids in satin) I hear the snakes in my head
(Forcing you to open) They know that trusting you
(God hands rip your sweetness) Has only made me cursed
(Claim you as my mistress) And left for dead
(Blind love is but cruelty) So I'll honour my Fate
(I have ruined Beauty) The Monstress in every tale
(God hands mock my weakness) In my island of stone
(Pull me from my mistress) I rot and hate
They tell you are insane
They say you hide
'Cause you are ashamed
Spread fear in your name
Away from the Gods
I'm mocked in the collective poetry
I am Gorgon
I am Woman
I am Beast
No one ever questions
What was done to me
I hear the snakes in my head
They know that trusting you
Has only made me cursed
And left for dead
