"My Mother In Darkness" lyrics - SKYCLAD

Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley
My lily of the valley of the shadow of death

Her velvet shadow in the rain
(Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley)
Disturb the stillness of the hour
(My lily of the valley of the shadow of death)
Each crimson kiss a tender pain
(Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley)
Like plucking petals from a flower
(My lily of the valley of the shadow of death)

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)

A pierced lip, a warm embrace
(Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley)
Ice-blue eyes that chill my heart
(My lily of the valley of the shadow of death)
Valkyrie kisses burn my face
(Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley)
This red thirst tears my world apart
(My lily of the valley of the shadow of death)

What is a poor boy meant to do?
I close my eyes and wish I knew
She rip the throats from singing angels
White wings stained red with ruby tears
Bare limbs entwined within a casket
Wrapped in bloody afterglow
So many questions we could ask
But do we really need to know?

(Now she is my mother in darkness)

Her velvet shadow in the rain...
Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley...
My lily of the valley of the shadow of death...

She is my mother in darkness...
