	Fragments of a bitter past Here today but still I’m lost Searching through your sacred forest With memories in hand, I begin to harvest Inconsequence and dread Align myself with the voices in your head This is my sweet apocalypse I taste disaster on your lips Surrounded by your doom and gloom Kidnapped by your sweet perfume Unleashing your hypnotic serpent Here I am, your loyal servant Voluntary or under duress Maggots in my brain, but I digress This is my sweet apocalypse I taste the vengeance on your lips Dissect my mind, invoke my fear You make the end seem so damn clear Taunt my inner frightened child Chain it up, let it run wild Retract yourself from my world Leave me spinning in a swirl This is my sweet apocalypse I taste the malice on your lips For better or worse You are my apocalypse Ethereal curse I taste the demons on your lips Intense and perverse You are my apocalypse Midnight eclipse I taste the demons on your lips Sacrifice my wretched body It makes you happy, why the envy? Caught in your Venus flytrap The end is near, no turning back Believe the spirits, don’t sit and wonder I’m your cocaine, I’m your lover This is my sweet apocalypse I taste the hatred on your lips I taste the hatred n your lips This is my sweet apocalypse Believe the spirits, don’t sit and wonder I’m your cocaine I’m your lover This is my sweet apocalypse I taste the demons on your lips

about

Frontman Jessy Switchblade shares that ‘My Sweet Apocalypse’ was “originally written by me in 2004, after a rather decadent weekend. I had Rammstein’s ‘Mutter’ as well as Metallica’s ‘Fade To Black’ on repeat. It is a song about imprisonment and the Stockholm Syndrome. I used the Gothic temptress as personification, as I have always enjoyed writing about mysterious Lilith type of figure, however the song can be about anything from substance abuse, straight through to being in love with an abusive, narcissistic partner. It highlights the agony and ecstasy of being gripped by the throes of obsession and addiction, whilst not being able to escape its clutches. It is most probably our most ambitious song to date, and definitely our longest. We debated for ages whether to release it as a single or not, however we felt that this quite possibly could be our magnum opus. so we thought we’d be bold and brazen to release it as the 3rd single from our upcoming ‘Vitriol Inc’ album.”
