Legend of a Crime
by Bliss Blood
Cuchillero malo, your blade is strong
Your heart is merciless, unbending, unbreaking
You have torn my soul, crushed my softness,
Slashed my heart, quelled my defiance,
but still my heart beats, still my blood flows,
still my mind races, craving your blade again.
Cuchillero malo, your blade is deadly
You pierced me to the quick, again and again
You have raised me up, dashed me down
In your whirlwind of shifting shadows,
but still my heart beats, still my blood flows,
still my mind races, craving your blade again.
Cuchillero malo, your blade is sharp
You gleam like a fire, but your eyes are in shadow
You have burned the words, broken the silence
Summoned me to you, and then you are gone,
but still my heart beats, still my blood flows,
still my mind races, craving your blade again.

BULLETPROOF
lyrics by Bliss Blood
Impervious to pain, I dream, undaunted,
until I'm wanted and flaunted again.
A bad bargain, maybe; I made it unflinching,
I keep it, bewitching, and blindly I see.
It's a barrier around me, makes me bulletproof,
Nothing can touch me, no one but you.
No arrows have found me, I'm bulletproof.
Only one single way to get through, You.
They're all lining up to sample my beauty,
I make it my duty to stay satisfied.
But somehow it's never enough to be clever,
I said what I wanted -- but maybe I lied.
It's a barrier around me, makes me bulletproof,
Nothing can touch me, no one but you.
No arrows have found me, I'm bulletproof.
Only one single way to get through, You.

SWALLOW THE DICE
lyrics by Bliss Blood
In the glittering den of iniquity's chance
All the tuxes lined up for a diamond a dance
They lay down on the table their stakes to tempt fate
Take a leap in the dark, standing pat for the take.
Sparkling jewels that cast back the light
Run the risk of transfixing one sport for the night,
When the doors are flung open by the heat of the Vice
Then smiling, so willing, I swallow the dice.
The wheel's set to spinning their fortunes away
and the boys buck the tiger at faro's parlay
Try the chance, set at hazard, draw lots if you dare
When the house clears the table, be devil-may-care.
Gaze at the cardsharps and venturers bold
With their vague desperation as their luck becomes cold,
When the doors are flung open by the heat of the Vice
Then smiling, so willing, I swallow the dice.
Wagerer, punter, hazarding man,
Knight of the elbow, risk it all while you can,
The dice box smoking hot, and the kitty so sweet
Straddle up to the table and soak in the heat.
Hundred to one, and the jackpot is fine,
Speculate for a moment upon this gold mine,
When the doors are flung open by the heat of the Vice
Then smiling, so willing, I swallow the dice.

Butterfly Collector
by Bliss Blood
Carelessly fluttering on a fragment of breeze
Drifted into a shadow, a web of release
Glowing, so intricate, shuddering wings
Pulsating, throbbing, symmetrical stings.
Immobile fluttering, wrists in your hands,
Burning with narrowed eyes, wordless demands,
Wings to the page, pinned to the core,
Butterfly clutching, and melting your power.

YOUR MAYHEM
lyrics by Bliss Blood
Your mayhem, feels so real
Your mayhem, burns it down
Your mayhem, makes me hum
For mayhem, makes me tick.
Don't slow down, it won't wait
Don't burn down, let's be late
Don't make me, I won't resist
Just take me, I insist.
Our mayhem, smiling game
Our mayhem, laughing fall
Our mayhem, turbo drive
Our mayhem, liquid fire.
Don't slow down, it won't wait
Don't burn down, let's be late
Don't make me, I won't resist
Just take me, I insist.

PALACE OF THE WIND
lyrics by Bliss Blood
I'm delirious, like the wind in the trees,
and the stars in the clouds, in the hall of the breeze.
You are ecstasy, and I melt i the air
But perfection's a tease, never here, never there.
Cross the bridge of sighs, on the wind of the stars,
On the breeze of delights, all the sighs will be ours.
In my charm-struck dreams, you possess in a gale,
Fascinate like the gleams of the moonbeams so pale,
You enraptured there, with a passing caress,
Never here, never there, only left with a guess.
Cross the bridge of sighs, on the wind of the stars,
On the breeze of delights, all the sighs will be ours.
You may pass me by, like the breath of the breeze,
Murmuring past my ear, you may fly as you please,
For the unchained winds are as free as the air,
Yearning only to breath, never here, never there.
Cross the bridge of sighs, on the wind of the stars,
On the breeze of delights, all the sighs will be ours.
Mesmerizing wind, wafting cat's-paw touch,
Oh my wish-giving friend, in the dream-light's clutch,
I await your breath, to refresh me again,
Never here, never there, in the Palace of the Wind.
Cross the bridge of sighs, on the wind of the stars,
On the breeze of delights, all the sighs will be ours.

LIPLOCK
lyrics by Bliss Blood
Of human bondage this man could tell a tale
In chains to someone who was like a vapor trail
He longed to tell her but the words were never near
A fortress built of longing she would never hear.
Don't break your liplock
keep your words where they belong
If they're unspoken they can never do you wrong
Lips locked in passion cannot help but be discreet
Don't break your liplock
and our hearts will never meet.
Adoring passion such an easy thing to show
But when you name it, there is nothing left to know
So keep it hidden, in the shadows let it grow
Secure it in your soul so it can never go.
Don't break your liplock
keep your words where they belong
If they're unspoken they can never do you wrong
Lips locked in passion cannot help but be discreet
Don't break your liplock
and our hearts will never meet.

BLACK WATER
lyrics by Bliss Blood
Don't look too closely or you'll find
he has a mercenary mind
He'll be your man if you can pay.
And when the gold is in his hand
he'll acquiesce to your command
play any game you want to play.
And if it all gets out of hand,
he's right there with a charming smile
and if there's blood spilled on the sand
A minor incident won't disrupt his style.
He'll never leave you feeling down
So glad to know that he's around
No job's too dirty or too cold.
He'll handle everything with ease
No questions asked, he's bound to please
His loyalty is bought and sold.
And if it all gets out of hand,
he's right there with a charming smile
and if there's blood spilled on the sand
A minor incident won't disrupt his style.
Anything that you ask, he'll do for you
Anyone you want lost, he'll lose
Rumor has it that there's no blood
Blood inside, side his veins --
Black water flows instead of blood.

ELLA ES EL MATADOR
lyrics by Bliss Blood
Kiss in the ring, now let it start
Lord of my dreams, charging my heart
He is so fierce, smells my self-doubt
My suit of lights, put the lights out.
Gored by the bull, heart-kiss the horn
Thorn of undoing, sinking, undone
Eternal weight, thrust to the core
Swimming too late, sweet hilted gore.
Pulsating kiss gripped deep inside
Never relent, heart-throbbing ride
Sword gleams unbrandished, final protest
Sinking unvanquished into sweet rest.
Now the retreat, battered and doomed
Bullfighter's strength seeps from the wound
Now let us fall, now let us part,
Shot like an arrow straight to my heart.
Gored by the bull, heart-kiss the horn
Thorn of undoing, sinking, undone
Eternal weight, thrust to the core
Swimming too late, sweet hilted gore.
