Crystal Eyes The Beast In Velvet Lyrics

The Beast In Velvet Lyrics

It's the birthday of the Emperor

The cream of the realm is here,

kings and queens with sons and daughters



It's truly a most
grandiose ball,

nobles fill the halls

Like sheep, ready for
slaughter



[Pre Chorus]

Oh, with rising hate I watch them
dance,

I watch them prance

Oh, how I loathe these haughty swine

I'll rid the world of this living grime



[Chorus]

Peasants
are saying, oh not without glee,

there's an aristocrat out on a killing
spree

A noble, thirsty for royal blood they say

The Beast in Velvet
I'm called by my prey



Though my fee is great indeed

I'd do
this for free,

'cause I enjoy my work immensely



[Pre
Chorus]

[Chorus]



[Bridge 1]

With wit and grace I charm
these fools

who think they're out of harm's way

None here's aware of
my sins

But 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 pray

as my victim dies by
my blade

Shape shifting is a useful trick in my dark trade



[Chorus]
