Beautiful Dead
Elegy of Decay: Unveiling the Haunting Beauty in Voodoo Dawn's 'Beautiful Dead'
Lyrics
My death will bring a pestilence
My death will result in a widespread and deadly disease.
The curse of seven plagues
The consequences of my death include a curse involving seven plagues.
And through the vile decadence
Amidst repulsive moral decay, beauty will be eradicated.
Beauty gets washed away
The allure of beauty will be destroyed in the midst of vile decadence.
Bottle up my broken heart
I encapsulate my shattered emotions within.
Despondent and in pieces
Feeling hopeless and fragmented, my heart is in pieces.
Knew 'twas vile from, the start
I recognized the foul nature of this from the very beginning.
Your way is full of weakness
Your path is marked by vulnerability and lacks strength.
Formaldehyde
A preservative chemical used in the embalming process.
Book of the Dead
A reference to the ancient Egyptian funerary text, symbolizing death and afterlife.
(Removing your brain through)

A hole in your head

And through the vile decadence

Despondent and in pieces

Your way is full of weakness
