A sweet and gentle kiss on my lips is the start of your lullaby,
Beside you in bed I lay as your warmth soothes me into slumber,
The sky above is clear with stars brightly shining, my angel passing by,
I smiled the much that this love could let me, in my dreams you were still the one,
To a dinner table you invited me, with a warmness on the soul I accepted,
A blindfold behold my eyes as this surprise dinner awaited,
Step by step like a little baby you led me to the table,
A moment in paradise was the picture painted in my head....
Gently the green-light to take off the blindfold was given,
My eyes beheld darkness, then a red light lit the dungeon,
Walls were made from caskets with corpses in them, I trembled,
The dinner table cover was fresh human skin still dripping with warm blood,
A cup of corrupted wine came to me as an offer, a toast was made,
Yes, this was a feast yet my eyes saw no delicacies laid at the table,
Tunes of dirges danced into my ears as a multitude appeared with knives,
My beloved was hosting the feast, I was the meat to be ate...
Through the tormenting darkness I saw skulls smiling right at my frown,
I could make good the word, 'Even though I walk through the valley...
Strongly I felt the presence of death surrounding and speaking softly,
I got the strength to stain the silence and in defiance I dared ask,
What I offered you my soul, would you secure a dance for me?
A dance in the royal floor, where angels and demons collide,
Would you give me a chance to dance with the devil?
Then my eyes opened to the sunlight of the morning of Valentine's day
