All Is Not As It Seems (feat. Percival Schuttenbach)

All is not as it seems! Fair maid by day Her lips are sweet Her words a gentle trill A beast by night My love takes flight Her fangs sharp for the kill I kiss my dear And thrill with fear She haunts my waking dreams Her whisper dancing in my ear: All is not as it seems All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! Beware all who meet her! The flow'rs sweetest bud The lady's love a fair façade Her roses red as blood All is not as it seems Beware all who meet her! Her eyes like candlelight They dance and sway Blue as the day Before she springs to bite All is not as it seems There's venom in her ruby lips There's ice gone through her veins My mistress gives me many gifts Sharp pleasure and sweet pains At times I wish we'd never met She's beauty and she's beast But if I tell the solemn truth My suff'rings worth the feast All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! If I am doomed to dance this jig As long as I remain I may well have a tale to tell And sing my sweet refrain I've grown to miss each poisoned kiss I hunger for her schemes I suffer not, but love my lot, All is not as it seems All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems! All is not as it seems!
