Vampyrouss - "The Ripper's Ruby Kiss" [Barely (A)Live Rehearsal] Lyrics: The wind has blown so cold since her demise Howling through winter skies Hanging onto the thin threads left inside He yearns to give her life In the corners of his study (and his mind) The answers he will find Chasing dragons in excess he pines For her... He adores her dress and slowly drifts away As a profound change and altered state he takes Stalking in the night long shadows pave For her safe passage to the prey Unwitting "poor hoars" reeking of high pay Who would miss them in any case? In dark corners kept for sinful embrace Each night his knife inscribes His signature, a gothic font engraved In them... He discards the dress and dons a mask of pain Shocked and in awe as his heart begins to race Locked away he swears to wrong his rites Each a blood drenched sacrifice With a potion to bring them back to spite And free him of the guilt knotting inside In the corners of his study (and his mind) The answers he will find To unlock the secret formula of life For them... He abhors the dress with vehement disdain Yet the Ripper's ruby kiss will rise to strike again! At the toll of twelve he slips into attire (Dressed to kill) Fully risen and peaked, brimming desire Veiled by cheap frills This femme fatale prances deep into the night Unaware of the crowd behind Assembling on the horizon with vengeance on their minds For him... They cast his husk upon a stake then spark a flame Engulfed in fire, ablaze, the Ripper's ruby kiss is tamed Lyrics by Kazraine Maars.
