All is not as it seems!
Fair maid by day
Her lips are sweet
Her words a gentle trill
A beast by night
My love takes flight
Her fangs sharp for the kill
I kiss my dear
And thrill with fear
She haunts my waking dreams
Her whisper dancing in my ear:
All is not as it seems
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
Beware all who meet her!
The flow'rs sweetest bud
The lady's love a fair façade
Her roses red as blood
All is not as it seems
Beware all who meet her!
Her eyes like candlelight
They dance and sway
Blue as the day
Before she springs to bite
All is not as it seems
There's venom in her ruby lips
There's ice gone through her veins
My mistress gives me many gifts
Sharp pleasure and sweet pains
At times I wish we'd never met
She's beauty and she's beast
But if I tell the solemn truth
My suff'rings worth the feast
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
If I am doomed to dance this jig
As long as I remain
I may well have a tale to tell
And sing my sweet refrain
I've grown to miss each poisoned kiss
I hunger for her schemes
I suffer not, but love my lot,
All is not as it seems
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
All is not as it seems!
