Lyrics

Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
My lily of the valley of the shadow of death

Her velvet shadow in the rain, disturb the stillness of the hour
Each crimson kiss a tender pain, like plucking petals from a flower

She took me pure as driven snow - held my hand and then let go

Matriarch of lust nocturnal - fill her vessel with your fire
Child endowed with life eternal - taste the well of her desire

She is my mother in darkness

A pierced lip - a warm embrace, ice blue eyes that chill my heart
Valkyrie kisses burn my face - this "red thirst" tears my world apart

What is a poor boy meant to do? I close my eyes and wish I knew

She rip the throats from singing angels
White wings stained red with ruby tears

Bare limbs entwined within a casket wrapped in bloody afterglow
So many questions we could ask - but do we really need to know?

Now she is my mother in darkness

Her velvet shadow in the rain..
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
My lily of the valley of the shadow of death

She is my mother in darkness
