[Intro 1]
[Em][D#m][Cm][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Nightfall, in [Cm]thrall
I call [D#m]her be[B]aut[D#m]y[Cm]
to me
Whose ebon-lidded eyes eyes excite
Shadows [Bm]to wander th[Em]rough me
Whose kiss glittered with sleep
Is [D#m]a thief come after dark
To [Cm]steal away the leaden [Bm]wreaths
[Em]From my cemetery heart

[Verse 2]
[Em]Thrilled to see the [Cm]light
[G]Bruise-reddened, silhouetting
silhouetting
Murder sites
[Cm]As d[F#m]usk attends her
son's blood wedding
[Em]Spilt across the skies[Bm][Cm]
[Bm]In r[Cm]eefs of om[G]en
Licking flames and pagan rites
[Cm]The night [F#]awaits with [Em]baited[F#m]
[Bm]thigh[C#]s
[Bm][D][Bm][C#][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[B][C#]
Start [Bm]this [D]art[Bm]ist dar[C#]kness
[Em][Fm]

[Verse 4]
Yearn[C#]ing now to start this
[Bm]Burning as an artist
Turn[C#]ing on the darkn[Cbm]ess
[C#]Dizzy looking up [Bm]with pervertigo
A sew[C#]er deity of[Em] rec[D]rement
World below
[F#m]I'll

[Verse 5]
[D]mak[F#m]e you [Fm]pray[F#]
[F#m][D][F#m][F#][F#m][Fm]

[Verse 6]
[F#m]
I spy [D]with wicked lips
The [F#m]cream of mortal [Fm]kind
Commit[F#m]ting their sins
[D]Their penitent skins
[F#m]To the harems of m[F#]y[Fm]
[Em]mind[D#m][Cm][F#m]
[Em]Prey

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][D#m][Cm][Em]

[Verse 7]
Thrilled to breathe [Em]tonight[Cm]
The [D]sultry [Cm]air of grac[G]es
Passed in flight
Like [F#m]birds of May with playful [Em]faces
Fills me with de[Bm]light[Cm]
Their crystal skirts
[G]Spun from stars, worn tight
[F#m]Wink o[F#]f fists in wis[F#m]hful pla[Bm]ces[C#]
[Bm][D][Bm][C#][Bm][F#m][Bm]

[Verse 8]
[C#]
Start [Bm]this [C#]artist [Bm]dark[Em]ness

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Yearning n[C#]ow to st[Bm]art this
Burning as an artist
Turning on [C#]the darkn[Bm]ess
[B]Diz[C#]zy looking up wit[Bm]h pervertigo
A sew[C#]er deity of[Em] rec[D]rement

[Verse 10]
World below
[F#m]I'll make you pr[D]ay[F#m][Fm]
[F#][F#m][D][F#m][Fm]

[Verse 11]
[F#m]
My whims [D]like smoke in summertime
[F#m]Writhe atop the [Fm]blooms
[F#]Committing their thin
[F#m]White [D]Catholic limbs
[F#m]To the cl[F#]oister in my [Fm]room

[Interlude 2]
[Ebm][Fm][Gb]
[Ebm][Fm][Gb][Ebm][Fm][Gb][Ebm][Fm][Gb]

[Verse 12]
[Ebm]You see I [Fm]need[Gb]
To [Ebm]feed my d[Fm]reams t[Gb]o order
[Ebm]To be [Fm]agre[F#]ed
With [D#m]the beast in me
That [Fm]bleeds [F#]their [Em]borders

[Interlude 3]
[D#m][Cm][F#m]
[Em]

[Verse 13]
Prey [Em]Nightfall,
in thrall
[Fm]I ca[Cm]ll her b[D#m]eauty[Cm]
to me
Whose ebon-lidded eyes eyes excite
Shadows [Bm]to wander th[Em]rough me
Whose kiss glittered with sleep
[D#m]Is a thief come after dark
To [Cm]steal away the leaden [Bm]wreaths
From my [Em]cemetery heart
