The bride was fair and frankly sweet The rising moon started the feast Don't tease the dragon, let it sleep You shall regret, time to retreat A wise man warned you didn't care An angel called you didn't hear A prayer prayed in holy fear The seeds of doom sprouted in tears
[1st chorus] Thorns in the pillow Sleep all the night long Under the weeping willow The orgy goes on
Anger of gods disturbs the dreams The worn out land under the weed Unbearable thirst makes you see The source is dry, sand in the stream Don't drink this sand! No you can't hear There's pain to stand, but you don't care Can you get up and take the spare No it's too late to revive your steer
[2nd chorus] The laughing window Dead toads on your grave One desperate bellow Numb in frosted flame
Eternal rapture let it flow Who stole the sun - the black rainbow? Enchanted mind can't let you go Afraid of the black rainbow Descendants have paid for your sins The king is dead, long live the king A feeble man in silver shoes Preaching the end of bloom Leave us alone we have no time So much to do before the night Someone has found the hidden wand In misery god waits the dawn
