Black Roses - Inkubus Sukkubus lyrics

Underneath the darkened sky
All along the crooked way
The same story once again
Of sorrow and of pain.

One fool in a dream
One black-hearted queen
A tale of unrequited love
That’s written in tears, written in blood.

She smiles, he cries
He begs, but she denies
As tonight becomes tomorrow
All joy will turn to sorrow.

This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love and pain and lust
Cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Where there’s love, there is lust
Where there’s a boy to give his heart
There’s a woman to tear it apart.

Where there’s giving, there’s taking
There’s faking, and there’s breaking
Where there’s trust deceit’s right there
The dream becomes the nightmare.

This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love and pain and lust
Cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death.

To despair she’ll take him
A shadow she’ll make him
Before him, the open grave
On his wrist, the razor blade.

Young man, hang your head and cry
It’s time to suffer, it's time to die
Abandon you the dreams of youth
Abandon love, and hope and truth.

This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love and pain and lust
Cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death.

She will crush you, she’ll excite you
She’ll destroy you, she’ll ignite you
She’ll take you to a world of darkness
And death, and death.

On a night of dread and wonder
Hear her heartbeat turn to thunder
Now’s the time for soul surrender
And death, and death.

From the west comes old Death
A-riding on the storm
With hungry eyes for funeral fires
To burn till the morrow's dawn.

For tis the night, here comes the dead
Unbound from the Underworld
And the children dress as the babes of Hell
All the boys and all the girls

And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn,
And the dead come back home on Samhain.
And in the night sky
On the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain.

At the Sabbat high on the funeral hill
Wait the witches at the feast
For the first winter’s day
The first winter’s sun
A-rising in the east

For Death has come for the summertime
And to take the leaves of spring
Hecate, Nemesis, Dark Mother take us in.

And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn,
And the dead come back home on Samhain.
And in the night sky
On the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain.
(verse x3)

Falling downwards, your face I see
Falling downwards, you can see me
In this madness I reach out for your hand
Two souls in union, spiralling to the ground.

Child of Morpheus
Take me to your sweet euphoria
Child of Morpheus
Hold me in my dreams
Tranquil angel
Falling with no fear of landing
Child of Morpheus
Close my eyes for me.

I’ve touched your beauty, tasted your poison brew
You’ve held me closer than any man could do
Now come, sweet Morpheus, there’s lands we’ve yet to see
Unfold your comforting arms, and we’ll fall endlessly.

Child of Morpheus
Take me to your sweet euphoria
Child of Morpheus
Hold me in my dreams
Tranquil angel
Falling with no fear of landing
Child of Morpheus
Close my eyes for me.

How I love you, Morpheus, my soul has ached for you
You gave me comfort while life was so cruel
Your time is precious, I’ll waste not what you share
Let’s fall again now, as far as we would dare.

Child of Morpheus
Take me to your sweet euphoria
Child of Morpheus
Hold me in my dreams
Tranquil angel
Falling with no fear of landing
Child of Morpheus
Close my eyes for me.
(chorus x2)

Child of Morpheus
Sweet euphoria
Child of Morpheus
Hold me in my dreams
Tranquil angel
Falling with no fear of landing
Child of Morpheus
Killing me.

We have found her in Supernature
In the Earth below and in the skies above
We have found her in Supernature
In all our hate and all our love
We have found her in Supernature
In both the day and the night
We have found her in Supernature
In all the darkness and all the light.

We have found her in Supernature
In the rain and in the dust
We have found her in Supernature
In all our pain and all our lust.

We have found her in Supernature
Here in life and so in death
We have found her in Supernature
In our blood and in our breath

We have found her in Supernature, Supernature
We have found her in Supernature, in the rain and in the dust
We have found her in Supernature, in our pain and in our lust
We have found her in Supernature, Supernature
We have found her, we have found her, we have found her
We have found her in Supernature...

Woman to cat to hare and back
Woman to cat to hare
I shall go with care
A woman with power may fool a man
As a hare I shall go from his sight to most anywhere.

Racing with the wind behind me
Chasing 'cross the fields of green
Running with the speed a hare can
Never will this hare be seen.

A woman, not a hare, shall snare a man
But the hare and the cat
Shall know where'er he's at
His secrets and his solitude shall not be his
For a man with a plan and a mind
I wish not to find.

Racing with the wind behind me
Chasing 'cross the fields of green
Running with the speed a hare can
Never will this hare be seen.
(chorus x2)

I have watched many men in their beds as they lie
As a cat I have sat and I know
What I should not know
They may think they are strong and are brave and they rule this world
But with quiet and with magick and with hare
They do not compare.

Racing with the wind behind me
Chasing 'cross the fields of green
Running with the speed a hare can
Never will this hare be seen.
(chorus x2)

It's too late to turn back now, we have slain the sacred cow
To paradise we are bound, we were lost but now we're found
As a razor cuts the wrist, rejoice for heaven's love has kissed
The icy blade shall lead the way
Don't you cry and don't you pray.

Come and sleep eternal sleep
Don't you fear and don't you weep
On a chariot we shall ride, all the way to suicide
You took me up you dragged me down, now my soul is quite unbound
Don't you try to change my mind, to sense and reason I am blind.

On the ferry to the underworld, round the blade our fingers curled
Let me give you your release, in my love and in my peace.
