Absolutely love coil and their Aleister Crowley/Thelema/Occult reference and whatnot. For those who don't know the reference of the title; Aleister Crowley (1900's Occultist) had offered to paint his female counterpart at the time, Leah Hirsig, and asked how she would like to be painted, in which she replied "Paint me as a dead soul". The more you know~ Coil fucking rocks!
Yes rip. Anyway, You comment is twelve years old but I have to know if the clicks and static-y pops on this track are intentional? Please let me know as this is very important. Sorry for bad English
Paint me as a dead soul With a halo of black joy Medusa in a mirror Etched out in acid The flesh, the image, the reflection One who dwells in scarlet darkness Like animals in palaces Drawing blood The flesh, the image, the reflection Let's complete the illusion Paint me as you see me From memory or history In a fever or a frenzy Paint your lucid dreams and visions In a chamber of nightmares In a temple of locusts So violent, vile and vivid May the colours make you fearful Blind and hypnotizing In our subterranean heaven Paint my cunt with dragonflies My eyes as bright as diamonds My heart open like an ulcer Or a sacred crimson rose Bathed in blood Or drowning in my bed With the fragrance from the flowers In the gardens of the dead Paint ghostly foxes, cats and camels A red dog and a black dog Paint a putrid sunset In verdigris and violet Ochre, amber, mauve Four monks Carrying a goat Over the snows To nowhere And paint the shades That come with evening Peacock angels Dream of leaving Paint me as you see me Paint me as I see me Paint me as a dead soul
Every song by Coil I discover is a new and greater journey.♥

Paint me as a dead soul
With a halo of black joy
Medusa in a mirror
Etched out in acid
The flesh, the image, the reflection
One who dwells in scarlet darkness
Like animals in palaces
Drawing blood
The flesh, the image, the reflection
Let's complete the illusion
Paint me as you see me
From memory or history
In a fever or a frenzy
Paint your lucid dreams and visions
In a chamber of nightmares
In a temple of locusts
So violent, vile and vivid
May the colours make you fearful
Blind and hypnotizing
In our subterranean heaven
Paint my cunt with dragonflies
My eyes as bright as diamonds
My heart open like an ulcer
Or a sacred crimson rose
Bathed in blood
Or drowning in my bed
With the fragrance from the flowers
In the gardens of the dead
Paint ghostly foxes, cats and camels
A red dog and a black dog
Paint a putrid sunset
In verdigris and violet
Ochre, amber, mauve
Four monks
Carrying a goat
Over the snows
To nowhere
And paint the shades
That come with evening
Peacock angels
Dream of leaving
Paint me as you see me
Paint me as I see me
Paint me as a dead soul
