Virgin Black - Sombre Romantic

I Sleep With The Emperor

I shivered in the warmth of their god
yet this mansion is haunted by romance
his servants heal my scars
anointing me with oil

I am naked and silk on this eve
his body will cradle his brides'
in frailty as I await his kiss
mortality ebbs from me

the pendulum swings
twelve times it rings
on this night
I sleep with the emperor
