Babe, I'm gonna leave you

“Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all”
Heinrich Heine

I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat its tail

Her mouth is red and her breasts are fair

and her loins are full of fire,

And her lust is strong as a man is strong

in the heat of her desire,

And her whoredom is holy as virtue is foul

beneath the holy sky,

And her kisses will wanton the world away
in passion that shall not die.

Ye shall laugh and love and follow her dance
when the wrath of God is gone
And dream no more of hell and hate
in the Birth of BABALON.
