Underneath the darkened sky
And all along the crooked way
The same story once again
Of sorrow and of pain

One fool in a dream
One black-hearted queen
A tale of unrequited love
That's written in tears, written in blood

She smiles, he cries
He begs, but she denies
As tonight becomes tomorrow
All joy will turn to sorrow

This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love, and pain and lust
A cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Where there's love, there is lust
Where there's a boy to give his heart
There's a woman to tear it apart

Where there's giving, there's taking
There's faking, and there's breaking
Where there's trust; deceit's right there
The dream becomes a nightmare
This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love, and pain and lust
A cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death

To despair she'll take him
A shadow she'll make him
Before him, the open grave
On his wrist, the razor blade

Young man, hang your head and cry
It's time to suffer, it's time to die
Abandon you the dreams of youth
Abandon love, and hope and truth

This is a tale of a succubus
A tale of love, and pain and lust
A cheating heart and a broken trust
And death, and death

She will crush you, she'll excite you
She'll destroy you, she'll ignite you
She'll take you to a world of darkness
And death, and death

On a night of dread and wonder
Hear her heartbeat turn to thunder
Now's the time for soul surrender
And death, and death
