Prompt:

[Intro — A lone bandoneón, slow heels against marble] Hush, my love. Don't say a word. I haven't finished loving you. [Verse I — Velvet contralto, sharp tango rhythm] Come, let me taste that defiant little sigh, That beautiful hatred you wear in your eyes. How sweetly you flinch, how exquisitely pale, How foolish to think that my passion could fail. I love you in silk, I love you in chains, In feverish kisses and exquisite pains. So give me your lips, your devotion, your breath, Or I'll make you envy the silence of death. [Pre-Chorus — Staccato strings, tightening] One little kiss, one little lie, One little reason to wish you could die. One little prayer, one little plea, How many before you remember it's me? [Chorus — Violent, passionate tango] Adore me! Abhor me! But never ignore me! Kneel at my altar, come crawl and implore me! Your heaven, your hell, your exquisite despair, I'll be in your blood, in your bones, in your prayers! Desire me! Deny me! I'll make you desire me! Burn every bridge, and still you won't tire me! Oh, darling, how lovely, how perfectly cruel— To make you my kingdom, my crown, and my fool! [Instrumental — Furious bandoneón, shrieking violins, abrupt silences] [Verse II — Smiling, venomously tender] I'll lace every dream with the scent of my skin, And whisper your sins till you welcome me in. I'll turn every touch into something obscene, Till you ache for the hands of your merciless queen. Oh, struggle, my sweet, let your fingernails tear, There's music in anguish and beauty in fear. The farther you wander, the sweeter the chase, The sweeter the tears when I kiss your dear face. [Pre-Chorus — Aggressive, breathless] One little wound, one little scar, One little wish on a dying star. One little scream, one little vow, Tell me you love me. Tell me now. [Chorus — Full orchestral fury] Adore me! Abhor me! But never ignore me! Kneel at my altar, come crawl and implore me! Your heaven, your hell, your exquisite despair, I'll be in your blood, in your bones, in your prayers! Desire me! Deny me! I'll make you desire me! Burn every bridge, and still you won't tire me! Oh, darling, how lovely, how perfectly cruel— To make you my kingdom, my crown, and my fool! [Bridge — Dead silence, then a slow heartbeat of double bass] I'll give you a kiss for each beautiful lie. A thorn for each tear that you dare let dry. A nightmare for every night spent apart. A thousand more years with your name in my heart. [Whispered, almost lovingly] You can have all my tenderness. Or all my cruelty. But you will have me. [Final Chorus — Frenzied tango, ecstatic operatic vocals] WORSHIP ME! WEEP FOR ME! FALL TO YOUR KNEES! I'll make the stars tremble and silence the seas! Oh, claw at the heavens and curse me above, I'll teach you the difference between fear and love! ADORE ME! ABHOR ME! THERE'S NO ONE BEFORE ME! No god and no grave shall ever restore thee! I'll kiss you in ruin, I'll crown you in flame, And hear you cry out for me, calling my name!
