[Verse 1]
B G
He stood stone still at night colder than our death
B G
a cloak of happiness, burnt skin, smell of corroded flesh
B G
I’ve watched your teeth, they salivate, tongue that licks at wounds
B G
Sat in my chair alone at night, burn the smoke filled room
B G
and as these flames touch my skin leave my spirit clean
B G
its just my eyes on you, a forced barbaric dream upon a dream

[Chorus]
Black Alice the graveyard fills my bones

Black Alice fingers, through the dirt

Black Alice, Black Alice raise me up, eyelids, drip red chrome

Black Alice the graveyard fills my bones

[Verse 2]
pearl drops of snowy scum, quivers in your hands
B G
time here has just begun, time stamps, London to Rotterdam
B G
cold crimson blood is warm, feet sticky, close to where i stand
B G
this hand, thats full of thorns, blood water, grey and leathered forms
B G
oh Mary Mary, mother, angel of the beasts
B G
come carve a statue from my bones, and ill grovel at your feet
B G
let baphomet sing to me, kill me if he choose
B G
and as we fall away we tilt my head
in the cavern of the rose
