My Mother In Darkness - Lyrics by Skyclad


Lyrics
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
Her velvet shadows in the rain,disturbs the stillness of the hour.
Each crimson kiss a tender pain,like plucking petals from a flower.
She took me pure as driven snow -held my hand and then let go.
Matriarch of lust nocturnal -fill her vessel with your fire.
Child endowed with life eternal -taste the well of her desire...
She is my mother in darkness.
Dance with the lilies in the shadow of the valley -my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.A pierced lip - a warm embrace,ice blue eyes that chill my heart,
Valkyrie kisses burn my face -this 'red thirst' tears my world apart.
What is a poor boy meant to do?I close my eyes and wish I knew.
She rips the throats from singing angels,white wings stained red with ruby tears.
Bare limbs entwined within a casketwrapped in bloody afterglowso many questions we could ask -but do we really need to know?
Now she is my mother in darkness.
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.
