Belladonna lyrics

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

Daylight devours your unguarded hours

Burnt and charred, this bride of scars

O Belladonna

Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap

The lanterns of skin summon us in

O Belladonna

Nightfalls descent shrouds her intent

In a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask

O Belladonna

Lost in the glare, all of us stare

The patterns of pain, scream out your name

O Belladonna
