The Beast in Velvet Songtext
von Crystal Eyes

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

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

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


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

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

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?

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

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
