Golden Venom

Dark Cinematic Rock Ballad / Femme Fatale

The Story

Some things you know will destroy you – and you reach for them anyway.

“Golden Venom” is about that moment of surrender: one look, and every warning sign fades. Pale hair like a halo, a beauty painted with lethal paint, a fever that burns away all reason. It’s not love. It’s hunger. And it tastes like gold.

A song about the beautiful trap of desire – for everyone who has ever walked straight into the flame with their eyes wide open.

Lyrics

One look at the gold
And I'm losing my mind
A beautiful trap
That I'm happy to find

Pale hair like a halo! But you're no saint!
A masterpiece painted with lethal paint!
You're leaning in close! I can smell the sin!
I know it's a war that I'll never win!

The silence is screaming, the fever is high
I'm watching the shadows dance in the sky
I'm falling, I'm drowning, I'm ready to fly

Inject the golden venom, let it reach my heart!
I was destined for the ruin right from the start!
You're the sweetest poison, the brightest flame
I'm writing my end in the glow of your name
Break me down, let the gold take hold
In a world of grey, you're the dangerous gold!

It's burning... it's glowing
The light in your eyes, it's the only thing showing
Give me the sting, give me the pain
I'd do it all over, again and again!
Again and again!
Again and again!

Golden... so deadly
My beautiful gift
Kill me softly
