SINGER: Virgin Black

SONG: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 bride's
in frailty as i await his kiss
mortality ebbs from me
the pendulum sings
twelve times it rings
i sleep with the emperor
