“l o w e r c u r t a i n”

"Enter into the mansion" your first action says

It's quite dark outside, I know

Don't hesitate a bit, at all

To make your dreary self at home

The butler'll welcome you with tea

The maid will heed your every wish

The children'll be your guide

And I'll be here always, so no need to hide

Don't venture anywhere in the night

After you've had your time with me

I love you, my darling

And hopefully, this warning you'll heed

We'll journey together into forbidden forests

Don't go on the darkest black path

The nightingales will sing a love song

As the mockingbirds mimic your cries of pleasure

We'll play together

Perform our script in this romantic play

And together we'll always be

Until I cast you away...

Until with you I'm bored

Tch, such a pushy, useless toy

I'll lead you onto the darkest black path

And feed you to the wolves

Ha!

I'll stain you with your own blood

Watch and cackle as the crows circle

Laugh and swing my legs as the mockingbirds

Mimic your screams of pain

Ask your questions and cry your words

I'll listen carefully and try to answer

With my own careful and beautiful lies

I'll twist the script to my own liking!

Play, rewind, repeat

This is our eternal play!

Until the curtain drops on our cheap show

We'll lavish in wine and sweets and lowly pleasures!

Then the clock strikes twelve

Your glass slippers turn to bloody stains

As I tie you up and laugh seeing you spread out before me

A flash of the knife and you're painted a brilliant red

I take out your heart and inspect it...

How quickly it beats, even outside your body!

Bite into it with fangs to make it stop

And relish the taste of fresh metallic

Flowers of evil and sin

Readily bloom

Filled with an opaque red

Glow of finest doom

But not for me, oh!

For my love, you!
