Crystal Eyes - The Beast In Velvet Lyrics
It's the birthday of the EmperorThe cream of the realm is here,kings and queens with sons and daughtersIt's truly a most grandiose ball,nobles fill the hallsLike sheep, ready for slaughter[Pre Chorus]Oh, with rising hate I watch them dance,I watch them pranceOh, how I loathe these haughty swineI'll rid the world of this living grime[Chorus]Peasants are saying, oh not without glee,there's an aristocrat out on a killing spreeA noble, thirsty for royal blood they sayThe Beast in Velvet I'm called by my preyThough my fee is great indeedI'd do this for free,'cause I enjoy my work immensely[Pre Chorus][Chorus][Bridge 1]With wit and grace I charm these foolswho think they're out of harm's wayNone here's aware of my sinsBut then again, who'd suspect a highborn prince?[Solo Both, Dahl, Both][Bridge 2]It's been so easy to lure my prey,so to my Lord I gratefully prayas my victim dies by my bladeShape shifting is a useful trick in my dark trade[Chorus]
