Madame Guillotine Songtext / Lyric

Madame Guillotine she walks in majesty,
Vile jesters fawning at her feet.
Madame Guillotine her chamber music-screams,
Dark suitors kiss her talon hands.

Where tattered banners fly her falcon circles high,
Searching out its prey amidst the ruins.
Madame Guillotine, cadaverous, obscene,
And yet she is again with child.

Moss chokes the crumbling tower in this her Autumn hour,
Amongst the empty battlements she waits.
And when her kingdom falls courtiers and suitors all
Will pass like a procession in the night.
