Lyrics for Belladonna

Sunrise breaks its fatal perfume And I'm dizzy to distraction The scented clutches of a siren's lament Embrace the sound of enchantment Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap The lanterns of skin beckon us in O belladonna Nightfalls decent shrouds her intent In a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask O belladonna Daylight devours your unguarded hours Burnt and charred, this bride of scars O belladonna Lost in the glare, all of us stare The patterns of pain, scream out your name O belladonna
