The Beast in Velvet

歌詞

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
