Mordecai or Mordechai (Hebrew: מָרְדֳּכַי, Modern Mordekhay, Tiberian Mordŏḵáy, Persian: مردخای, IPA value: [mɔrdɔ̆ˈxɑj]) is one of the main personalities in the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible. He was the son of Jair, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Mordecai resided in Susa (Shushan or Shoushan), the metropolis of Persia (now Iran). He adopted his cousin (Esther 2:7), Hadassah (Esther), an orphan child, whom he brought up as if she were his own daughter. When "young virgins" were sought, she was taken into the presence of King Ahasuerus and was made queen in the place of the exiled queen Vashti. Mordecai was referred to subsequently as one of those who "sat in the king's gate" to indicate his position of closeness to the king. While holding this office, he discovered a plot of the king's chamberlains Bigthan and Teresh to assassinate the king. Because of Mordecai's vigilance, the plot was foiled. His services to the king in this matter was duly recorded in the king's royal diary.
Loving the dead
A torso, a hand or a severed head
The cemetery girls don't say no to their fate
When their bodies get too rotten
Their skeletons do great
Lurking in the shadows with you on my mind
I'm engulfed by your beauty
I'm a man who's gone blind
Watching you move so graceful this night
I'm going to catch you, how I long for this fight
Smelling your hair as I'm working my knife
I adore how you scream when I take your life
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse is as beautiful
As the dawn when it comes with the first sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
That really took my breath away
Admiring your beauty my wonderful rose
Oh what pleasures you'll give me
Before you decompose
But the darkness has fallen and the clock strikes ten
Excuse me my darling but the shadows
Are calling again
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that the sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse is as beautiful
As the dawn when it comes with the first sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
That really blew my mind away
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse is as beautiful
As the dawn when it comes with the first sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
