_ _ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _
The scent [Bbm] grows richer, _ [Abm] he knows he must be [Bbm] here.
_ [E] He finds a long [Ebm] _ passageway lit [Fm] by _ chandelier.
_ _ _ _ [B] Each step he takes, [Bbm] the perfumes change from [Abm] familiar fragrance [Bb] to flavor strange.
[E] _ _
Magnificent [Ebm] chamber meets [Fm] his eye.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Inside a [Bbm] long rose water [Abm] pool, he's shrouded by [Bbm] fineness.
_ _ [E] _
Stepping in [Ebm] the moist silence, [Fm] the warm breeze is gently kissed.
_ _ [B] _
Thinking he's [Bbm] quite alone, [Abm] he enters the room [Bbm] as if it were his own,
[E] but ripples on [Ebm] the sweet pink ward [Fm] reveal some company and [Cm] thought.
[Ab] Real stands [Cm] _ [Ab] astonished, [Gm] doubting his sight.
Struck [Ab] by beauty, [D] ripped [Eb] in fright.
_ [Cm] _ [Ab] Three vermilion [Cm] snakes [Ab] are female [Gm] face.
The [Ab] smallest motion [Fm] filled [Eb] with grace.
[F] _ [Gm] Muted [Dm] _ [F] melodies fill [Em] the [D] echoing hall.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] But [Dm] there is [F] no sign [Em] of what [F] in [Em] the [D] sirens call. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] Real [Am] welcome, we [Em] are the [Bm] labyrinth of [Gbm] the [Dbm] glory _
[Abm] hall.
[A] We [E] have been [A] waiting for [E] a while, [Gbm] but where is he?
Where [Dbm] have you [Gbm] gone? _
[Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _

_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ Putting fear [Bbm] beside him, [Abm] he trusts in beauty [Bb] blind.
_ [E] He slips into [Ebm] the neck, _ [Fm] leaving his shredded clothes behind.
_ _ [B] With their tongues, [Bbm] they test, taste and [Abm] judge.
_ All [Bbm] that is mine.
_ [E] _ Moving a [Ebm] series of caresses [Fm] that glide up and down [E] my spine.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ As they nibble [Bbm] the fruit of my flesh, [Abm] I feel [Bbm] no pain.
_ _ [E] _ Only _ [Ebm]
magic, but [Fm] a name but stain. _
_ _ [B] With the first drop of [Bbm] my blood in their veins, [Abm] their faces are convulsed in [Bbm]
mortal pains.
[E] The fairest cries, [Ebm] we all have loved [Fm] you, Real. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [Ab] Each empty [Cm] snake, [Ab] like body [Gm] floats.
[Ab] Silent sorrow, [D] in empty [Eb] boats.
_ [Cm] _ _
[Ab] _ Sickly [Cm] [Ab] sourness fills [Gm] the room, a [Ab] bitter harvest of a dying [Eb]
bloom.
[F] _ [Gm] _ Looking [Dm] for [F] motion, I know [C] I will not [D] find you. _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Stroke the [Dm] curls [F] now [C] turning pale, [F] which [Em] I'd laid [D] _
entwined.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
Oh, [Dm] lamb, [Am] your flesh that [Em] remains, [Bm] I will take as [Gbm] my _ [Dbm] [Abm] food.
_ [A] _
This is [E] camp, [A] I'll call [E] it, the flames [Gbm] are my chocolate [Dbm] _ [Gbm] fingers.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Looking [Bbm] behind me, [Abm] the water turns [Bbm] icy blue.
_ [E] The lights are [Ebm] dimmed, but once [Fm] again, the stage is set for you.
