It's the Birthday of the Emperor The Cream of the Realm is here, Kings and Queens with Sons and Daughters It's truly a most grandiose Ball, Nobles fill the Halls Like Sheep, ready for slaughter Oh, with rising Hate I watch them dance, I watch them prance Oh, how I loathe these haughty Swine I'll rid the World of this living Grime Peasants are saying, oh not without Glee, There's an Aristocrat out on a killing Spree A Noble, thirsty for royal Blood they say The Beast in Velvet I'm called by my Prey Though my Fee is great indeed I'd do this for free, 'Cause I enjoy my Work immensely Oh, with rising Hate I watch them dance, I watch them prance Oh, how I loathe these haughty Swine I'll rid the World of this living Grime Peasants are saying, oh not without Glee, There's an Aristocrat out on a killing Spree A Noble, thirsty for royal Blood they say The Beast in Velvet I'm called by my Prey With Wit and Grace I charm these Fools Who think they're out of Harm's Way None here's aware of my Sins But then again, who'd suspect a highborn Prince?
