Therion - The Beauty In Black lyrics

Behind your sleeping mind

The beauty in black

The woman with a face as pale

As her soul is black

Painted with the shadows of the moon

Cloaked with your deepest dreams

Born out of the vessel of time

The beauty in black

The beauty in black

She's the serpent of lust

Coiling down the tree in your eden

To bring you the fruits

Of forbidden pleasures

And forbidden knowledge

Behind your sleeping mind

The beauty in black

Cast upon the nightheavens

Riding your desires

To be cast beneath the seas

Behind your sleeping mind
