Evelyn Songtext
von Aeons

The devil, he built this great city
And longs for the flesh of the young
A beautiful chorus girl, stars in her eyes
The flame that will burn in his sun

In a room full of mirrors and a red velvet swing
He′ll take from her all that he craves
To satiate his leviathan
As her innocence is enslaved

Kiss her soundless tears away
As inside she's dying

Champagne and silks and laudanum milk
As the memories swam in her eyes
The practised voluptuary stalking his prey
She entered a virgin and left as his prize

Evelyn falls away
Charmed by the devil and his wicked ways
Evelyn falls away
Charmed by the devil and his wicked ways


She came on from nothing
She shone like a star in the darkness
An angel of New York
Velvet smooth in monochrome

Sixteen summers that blessed the canvas
And haunted all the dreams of lesser men

Voices whispered of all the possibilities
That lay within their beds

Wherever you looked her smile was alive
On posters and papers and Broadway she shined
Slowly this love bore indelicate sin
A sweet captive meat
A conquest divine

She found the strength to break free from his grasp
The wild rose was blooming once more
Alive on the stage she was coming of age
Along came the demon called Thaw

Kiss her soundless tears away
While inside she′s dying


Along came a spider
Dragged her into his web
Morphine and cocaine to
Burn away endless pain
He bore the mark of Cain

One fateful night
A rage inside his head
Her secrets pulled
With all his violence
She suffered for his sins

Broken and falling deeper into his fire
She closed her eyes and kissed the flame

Choking and falling deeper into his mire
She closed her eyes and took his name

One last misery waits
A cruel twist of fate
To bid her goodbye

One man's tragic end
As darkness descends
The devil must die

Evelyn falls away
Charmed by the devil and his wicked ways
Evelyn falls away
Charmed by the devil and his wicked ways
