The Thrash of Naked Limbs

Beauty is fragile, and time eats at it
This passion play
Smothered in effort, The thrash of naked limbs
Glistening skin
Close your eyes, the whispered sighs
Frightening lust
Sweet was her breath, tasted by mine
Words are more effective when concealed
Through the halflight on her body
My fearful hands tremble their way
Take me, anywhere that you like
Hold me, deep within. Do what you like
Take me, anywhere. Warm the night
Take me, take me, take me
With the lights low, and you naked on the warm floor
Me besides you, softly kissing, caressing
Make love to her while she's crying
I could die now, and die happy


Le Cerf Malade

Il en coute A qui vous reclame
Medecins du corps et de l'ame
O temps! O moeurs! J'ai beau crier
Tout le monde se fait payer

Translation:
The Sick Stag

To who you ask what it will cost
Doctors for the body and heart
oh time! oh manners! I shout in vain
Everyone shall pay


Gather Me Up Forever

The pain never stops
The race ignore me
I sit here twisted, and it hurts me.
The Son is near
His way made for him
Among the hopes
Ten thousand suffering
Oh how my heart aches
The brilliant stories cascade about me
To be handsome again
Thou art all deformed, and I feel your pain
What I touch with my hand, I touch with my heart.
The affection of stillness
Kiss the hand that blesses me
And as the panting ceased
My blood runs now fierce
This when I was young, before I knew nothing
Now I'm the hunted, for the guilt that stains my hands.

Review



MDB's second minicd is mostly in the style of As The Flower Withers, except for the song 'Le cerf malade' which is an instrumental keyboard trac that doesn't really have any melody or something, just atmospheric sounds. Still this cd so cool that any self-respecting MDB fan should have it, if you can find it...

Rating: 7.5 out of 10
