C#m
Don't get too close
A
That place is haunted
C#m
Fear not the ghosts
A
Cause she sent them
       C#m B A     G#m
running       She sleeps
  F#m       C#m   B A
beneath the surface
   G#m     F#m
Consorting with the
C#m     B A     G#m
serpents   She strikes
    F#m   C#m    B A G#m F#m C#m
without a purpose

C#m
A dark face in a
corridor Deceptively
beautiful She's
 E
watching you She's
        B/D#        F#m
in everything you do
C#m
Her kiss it tastes
so sweet But left
me with a lethargy
   E
I couldn't shake
         B/D#         F#m
I made a grave mistake

Chorus:
C#m
   I gave her my heart
she didn't want it
A
Took it anyway and
put a dark spell
     E
on it Since then I
haven't been the
B   C#m
same   Needed a victim
                A
and she got it Took
me in with her song
powerless to stop it
E
Some men don't dare
             B
to speak her name

She picked me up from my decline
Healed my wounds with love and wine
Dosed me up and closed my eyes
A taste of poison
She gave me all that I desired
Sung the songs of angel choirs
Preached the words of death
and fire and left me burning

C#m A
     She sleeps

beneath the
E      B/D#
surface
Consorting
with the
C#m     A
serpents
She strikes
without
   E      B/D#
a purpose
