Byronic

I’m decadence personified

A whirlwind of epicurean pride

Just come with me, sip my white wine

  Now let us fuck like Philistines!



I’m everything these wretched masses lack

Disrobe, unfurl – let’s hit the sack

I’ll bump and grind against your status quo

And make you swoon in the sweet afterglow



I dazzle you all with my epic tales

Of dead-set heroes going off the rails

With a penchant for sex, wine, freedom and song

And taking the piss out of society’s wrongs



I’ll take all I can from this transient life

No need for their rules and no need for their strife

I’ve shared many a bed with those who would enthuse

But my one true love is my Romantic muse



I refuse to be an effigy for the mass

Those drones possess no ounce of class

I use my prowess, my poetic skills

To defy standards; fight off all that kills



So take my hand – no need to self-efface

All traces of the dull we shall erase

Confounding those who’d sooner see us fall

By Dionysus, we will confront them all
