From the void, to the word, to the ancient folks We decline in a eclipses, in a downward spiral We look up to their idols that are made of gold We decline as we worship to their hearts so cold Like the sandman from our darkest dreams Like a spider's kiss from the rooms between She's a watcher of the starlit shades The keeper, the mistress of the masquerades With her claws she'll destroy the western world She has arms like serpents, and she's gonna strangle There are tales spun around her, that you've never heard She has servants, who are hidden in every angle She's a shroud, she's a gas, a smile she never has For the thrill, she will kill, will take your life When she opens her eyes, she will force your will Stay awake, keep away from her magic skills Like the sand runs from the hour glass Like a curse conjured up in the past Like a traveller came from far away She will raise her mask at the end of days Like the sandman from our darkest dreams Like a spider's kiss from the rooms between She's a watcher of the starlit shades The keeper, the mistress of the masquerades When the moon stands over London's town You will notice her as she is dressed in shadows From the sky pitch and sulphur are coming down And you feel her presence, feel her breath so close In a hallway of arches a train goes like a rush In the streets you will hear the smothering yell In a car on a highway, destinated to crush In the end you'll descend, descend to hell
