Sleeping Beauty Lyrics

Sleeping beauty


So beautiful, so fragile
So pure when you are asleep

If your life was so meaningless
Then why were you so afraid?

I’ve seen in your eyes
The reflection of fear
While you felt the blade
Deep into your flesh
As if your skin, as if your skin
Perspired your own blood
A warm crimson sweat
Drowned forever in a deadly dream

Surrender of the mind
Like a slave to the grind
Or the curse of The Jade Scorpion
Justified your retribution

Whatever were your sins
I granted my blessings
Darkened your future
And turned your pride into a failure

A lethal submission
An evil jurisdiction
A devil’s demonstration
An atrocity exhibition
