Dear Theda, Songtext

Dear Theda, Songtext
Strings of pearls
Rest starkly on a velvet gown of black
Opulent and mystic furs
Span across her back
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Long-stemmed rose
Clenched tightly tween′ pearlescent fangs of white
Smoldering and mesmeric eyes
Retreat into the night (Deep into the night)
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Veiled like a sullen sphinx
Staring down history
Your star still shines
In an age thats revoked all of its mystery
Your charm still binds
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda
Rest starkly on a velvet gown of black
Opulent and mystic furs
Span across her back
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Long-stemmed rose
Clenched tightly tween′ pearlescent fangs of white
Smoldering and mesmeric eyes
Retreat into the night (Deep into the night)
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Veiled like a sullen sphinx
Staring down history
Your star still shines
In an age thats revoked all of its mystery
Your charm still binds
A fool there was for you
Dear Theda my love
The vamplike breath you drew
Still lingers like blood
Upon the blooms
In the delicate shade of your tomb
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda (A fool there was)
Dear Theda
