Pale dark-eyed child of midnight,
Tossing under sheets of gold
Storm grows closer, summer’s twilight
Spirits dance across the lake.

Victor walks her down the staircase
Makes her watch him at his work
Once a dead and lifeless creature 
Lightning wakes from endless sleep.

Chorus
Whispering “little Mary”
Weeping phantoms at her door
Opium faces mock her sadness
Shadows pace the silent floor

Mary lay in silent rapture
Victor smiling far above
Dressed her with a crown of copper
Fed the stars into her veins.

Wake up! Lift your head up
Monster breathing at your side
Like a lover uninvited
Reaches out to touch your hand

Whispering “little Mary”
Weeping phantoms at her door
Opium faces mock her sadness
Shadows pace the silent floor

Turns her head to face the creature
Smells the death and sweet decay
Skin was pale as winter’s moonlight
His eyes are hers alone.

Whispering “little Mary”
Weeping phantoms at her door
Opium faces mock her sadness
Shadows pace the silent floor
