The Beast In Velvet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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]
