lyrics

She waltzes in from a distant land, a delicate grace in her step
Adorned in red, she dazzles the eyes and the thoughts of the simplest men
She plays on their vain sense of ambition
Once they’re ensnared, she reveals her evil ways
She gives a performance those charmed can never forget
Teasing with motions only possible in the wildest fantasies
Blinding pirouettes that serve only to beguile
Leaving them open for the slowest, most excruciating kill

Freedom seized with the clasp of the cuffs
Submitting to the one that appeared so gorgeous
Conditions change, but only in her favor
Their lifeblood gradually slips with every new denial

No matter how many lives she claims
Her wiles persist and the corpses pile higher
The upcoming victims retain their desperation
Some just never break the cycle of lunacy

Her swaying hips and thighs agape invite men to their doom
A grim history that repeats with all that she grooms
She preys upon the downtrodden, hopeless and the weak
Dupes them to believe in the ambiguous technique
She claims that her companionship will lead them to the stars
But uses her position to make them bleed and starve
This age-old calamity has an obvious solution
Memorize her face and renounce her foul illusion
