Once upon a long time ago
there was a gypsy queen with skin like snow
Fair and smooth, cold for sure
Venus never had nothin’ on her
My God, she was a deadly dame
men traded souls just to hear her name
and when they did a world of flame
engulfed their hearts and the Devil sang...
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Zyrah!
There was a time I couldn’t see at all
‘til I swallowed that gypsy’s crystal ball
and then I saw that the mirror on her wall
was the only weapon that could make her fall
I took it in hand and climbed her stair
in the dark she called out, “Who goes there?”
She fell in love just like the rest
now she clutches that mirror to her breast
She talks in tongues while her flesh decays
She hasn’t left that room in days.
Eyes made of a man’s wet dreams
The lids were two sharp guillotines
Lips slick with Kerosene
threw sparks every time she screamed
