Beauty And The Beast
Venom · A Triple Dose Of Venom [1991]
He watches witches weaving wonders
Inside their crystal balls of thunder
Seeing the future past and present
Of messages the universe sends
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so virgin pure
They summon me my slave
Bring her to their lure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
She calls christ in churches crimson
But I can see the blood on your sins
I've got to take her - Leave her - Take her
Tell me the price if I deliver
They guide me through the lake
By one a slave of flesh
They summon his return
In vain wasting their breath
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
They cast countless conjurations
He didn't sign the pact the fact is
Their screams of failure fade to whispers
Trying to heal their mental blisters
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so golden pure
They didn't realise
This was the demon's cure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
Inside their crystal balls of thunder
Seeing the future past and present
Of messages the universe sends
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so virgin pure
They summon me my slave
Bring her to their lure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
She calls christ in churches crimson
But I can see the blood on your sins
I've got to take her - Leave her - Take her
Tell me the price if I deliver
They guide me through the lake
By one a slave of flesh
They summon his return
In vain wasting their breath
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
They cast countless conjurations
He didn't sign the pact the fact is
Their screams of failure fade to whispers
Trying to heal their mental blisters
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so golden pure
They didn't realise
This was the demon's cure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
