A Selfish Star Songtext
von Decline of the I

All is lust
Motionless, I drift
Through these dirty endless feasts
Disdainful, distorted

Irradiated by a yellow eye
Set free from a forgotten hell
Torn apart from a selfish star
At last, I ally myself with the night

I ally myself with the night
I ally myself with gold
I ally myself with lust
I ally myself with the night

Eloquence, my coat of arms
I would fight for a comma

Every concept is a fluid
As exquisite a brandy


The indigent is agonizing in front of me
Ridiculous, wretched beings pleading ghosts
For I know, there will be no tomorrow
I leave it for the weak, for the dull and the feeble

Never would I be affected by this filthy mud
Of everyday life, of mediocrity
Pigs never look up to the sky
They′ll never see me shine

We fall in oblivion
We fear the vagrant and the ugly

Tides of lying bodies hang onto my marbled feet
I crush these nails defiled by absurd labor
They are but extras in the glorious romance of my life
As they feed my deliverance

We fall in oblivion
We fear the vagrant and the ugly

Virgins drink my words
As I taste their discharge
My pleasure will be their distress
My contempt for their sad rags


Reveled by the tears
Of diaphanous nymphs
I come as I laugh
I ally myself with the night

I ally myself with the night
I ally myself with gold
I ally myself with lust
I ally myself with the night

Everything is massive as a dandy's hangover
Everything is heavy as a player′s regret
