The Revenge Of Sleeping Beauty Lyrics

The Revenge Of Sleeping Beauty lyrics

behind the veil, skin as pale as a virgin

 fear valvet red, drapes the bed like a curtain

 

 mix the elixir she drinks from her vial

 give her the river that soothes her denial

 --what have i got to do with it?--

 --what have i got to do with it?--

 

 CHORUS

 

 far from the world that she's in

 away from all she resents

 if she forgives herself, depends

 on Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge.

 how long has she been sleeping?

 beauty's only skin-deep

 if she forgives herself depends

 on Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge.

 

 hanging my head on her bed, i am waiting

 i stand on guard for her heart, yet she hates me

 

 i steal the kiss right from her lips

 stealing kisses from her lips

 i steal them softly while she's sleeping

 i feel the fault - all i can feel

 i taste the salt - it tastes so real

 oh, i can taste it when she's weeping

 --what have i got to do with it?--

 --what have i got to do with it?--

 

 REPEAT CHORUS

 

 BRIDGE

 in every shadow there's a

 deeper reason searching for a seam

 in every nightmare there's

 a darker meaning waiting for a dream

 if i could take you from this

 corner, if i could shake you from this spell

 the cold would seem a little

 warmer, heaven knows it must be hell

 for you to stand in frozen

 silence, while i dance over your grave

 you never reached out through

 the violets, ever asking to be saved

 and if winter could meet

 summer, could they tell each other apart?

 what's life worth without a

 little change of weather in your heart?
