Lyrics

Music: mikael dahl - lyrics: andreas götesson

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
