Virgin Black Lyrics

Album: Unknown

I Sleep With The Emperor Lyrics

I shivered

 in the warmth of their god

 Yet this mansion

 is haunted by romance

 His servants heal my scars

 Anointing me with oil

 I am naked and silk on this eve

 His body will cradle his bride's

 in frailty as I await his kiss

 mortality ebbs from me

 The pendulum sings

 Twelve times it rings

 I sleep with the emperor
