Singing in the darkness with the sirens,

Killing her prey with song.

She shatters their drums,

And leaves them ringing.

The iron blood coats their tongue,

While she continues unseen.

Serenity's beast in Lucifer's forest,

Singing her sweet songs of love.

Lucifer's staff rises from the fires,

As he drives the young primadonna.

Her sweet song is rising,

In the ears of her master,

His scream is of death and "tortured souls."

This demented pair of lovers,

Wield the darkest of light.

Lucifer's heavy form,

Dreaming of imminent death.

A beautiful mermaid in elegant garb,

She sings in a rain of fire.

De Morte ad Regem is her song,

Tears leaking from his pyre.

The death of the horned king.
