Sleeping Beauty - Wedding in Hades

So beautiful, so fragile

So pure when you are asleep

If your life was so meaningless

Then why were you so afraid?

I’ve seen in your eyes

The reflection of fear

While you felt the blade

Deep into your flesh

As if your skin, as if your skin

Perspired your own blood

A warm crimson sweat

Drowned forever in a deadly dream

Surrender of the mind

Like a slave to the grind

Or the curse of The Jade Scorpion

Justified your retribution

Whatever were your sins

I granted my blessings

Darkened your future

And turned your pride into a failure

A lethal submission

An evil jurisdiction

A devil’s demonstration

An atrocity exhibition
