ODE TO LADY MIDNIGHT. gazing through the glass / patiently awaiting the crowds / she sings soulful lies / poisoned the matriarch / take this coin and drink her wine / candlelight meets auburn hair / when she stands upon the parapet / orchestral swells fill the ballroom / death waltz for the smitten souls / lady midnight orchestrates the tragic feast / painted portraits of dead royalty sold to highest bidder / masqueraders parade these rich palace grounds / trading wine for bloodstains on clean, velvet carpet / she glides from sight with the hint of a smile / candlelight meets auburn hair / when she stands upon the parapet / orchestral swells fill the ballroom / death waltz for the smitten souls / lipstick stains on dead men / cold fingers trace pale flesh / she’ll drag you close and whisper / come to me, child / taste the wine, child / oh won’t you stay / don’t walk away / lady midnight orchestrates the tragic feast / painted portraits of dead royalty sold to highest bidder / masqueraders parade these rich palace grounds / trading wine for bloodstains on clean, velvet carpet / candlelight meets auburn hair / when she stands upon the parapet / orchestral swells fill the ballroom / death waltz for the smitten souls / lady midnight orchestrates the tragic feast / painted portraits of dead royalty sold to highest bidder / masqueraders parade these rich palace grounds / trading wine for bloodstains on clean, velvet carpet / we drink the wine, she vanishes from sight / her lips were painted like the knife / words sung softly: where’s your heart? / where’s your heart? / where’s your heart, lonely child?
