Lyrics: Skyclad. My Mother In Darkness.
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
Her velvet shadows in the rain,
disturbs 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.
Dance with the lilies in the shadow of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
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 rips 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.
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
Her velvet shadows in the rain,
disturbs 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.
Dance with the lilies in the shadow of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
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 rips 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.
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -
my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
