Skyclad - My Mother in Darkness Lyrics

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, disturb the stillness of the hour.
Each crimson kiss a tender pain, like plucking petals from a flower.

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, ice blue eyes that chill my heart,
Valkyrie kisses burn my face, this "red thirst" tears my world apart.

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.
