	On the night all mirrors fell silent
	And the clocks struck accord with the rain
	A storm swept in with such violence
	The dead rose to complain
	The stars were ill-crossed as the weather
	Lost in its bitumen cloak
	The angels were warring, slick with endeavor
	Falling like tears through the thickening smoke
	Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder
	A flood of souls scream on the rolling thunder
	Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder
	She stirs from dreams, barely three feet under
	Victoria,
	I come to claim my prize
	Stealing from the convent'
	Neath the wrath of seething skies
	For though you greased the palm of
	SatanWith those moonlit silver thighs
	I knew the beast took second place
	When I looked into your eyes
	Your deceiving eyes
	Are filled with lies and missed good byes
	And serpents hissing revelations
	Your deceiving eyes
	They tell enough of how
	I fell in love
	With the goddess creeping deep inside you
	And with the tumult up above him roaring
	Isaac sought her shallow grave
	As lightning bolted through
	The grim down-pouring rain
	He struck the hallowed earth again
	Having torn at the soil like a man insaneНе threw his fists at the poisonous cosmos
	And from that pit of shame
	He bore the coffin from her sorry lot'
	Neath trees whose eaves were knotted with rot
	Through ornate chapel doors, unlocked
	To splinter her sarcophagus
	And gaze upon her face
	VictoriaVictoria,
	I come to claim my prize
	Stealing from the convent'
	Neath the wrath of seething skies
	For though you greased the palm of
	SatanWith those moonlit silver thighs
	Making mockery of rosaries
	His needs will never rival
	His needs will never rival mine
	I recall a summer's day
	The sunlight bathed your penitential scars
	As I sat and washed the blood away
	Now your body stays
	And the coldness of your lips
	Eclipse like the first true kiss of winter
	Pining for the dead on the stone floor spread
	She was shining through her winding shroud
	A moon amid the mad, this son of
	Adam hadA gift for the pretty young nun
	A necklace wrought of twining snakes
	Two gold illicit tongues
	He laid it at her throat where the rope had wrung
	He was burning from the furnace of his 'roused desire
	He wrested with temptation
	To be or unfulfilled
	She was undressed for ovation
	Her sumptuous form, the storm revealed
	And with his driven lust exploding
	Her lashes brushed his cheeks
	They flickered with life, her limbs enfolding
	Purring, licking wicked teeth
	Victoria,
	I come to claim my prize
	Stealing from the convent'
	Neath the wrath of seething skies
	For though you greased the palm of
	SatanWith those moonlit silver thighs
	You have left him just for me
	I see it in deceiving eyes
	Those deceiving eyes
	Are filled with lies and missed good byes
	And serpents hissing revelations
	Those deceiving eyes
	They tell enough of how
	I fell in love
	With the goddess re-arisen in you

	On the night all mirrors fell silent
	And the clocks struck accord with the rain
	A storm swept in with such violence
	The dead rose to complain
	The stars were illcrossed as the weather
	Lost in its bitumen cloak
	The angels were warring, slick with endeavor
	Falling like tears through the thickening smoke
	Blood redeems, heaven torn asunder
	A flood of souls scream on the rolling thunder
