Lucifer and Luminitsa - Circus Contraption

He was a figure of mid-light across the emberlighted hall

The only one to notice me alone against the wall

The other girls were like flowers, burning brightly at the ball

Though they tried to catch his eye, he wanted me above all

And when we danced he put his arms around me, cold and danced sweet

And as he left, I saw that he had cloven hooves instead of feet

In the morning he came calling, granny hid me 'neath the stairs

She tried to tell him I was gone, but somehow he knew I was there

Then he burst in, he swallowed granny up and chased me as I ran

He grabbed my hair, tore out a lock as he flew back among the damned

I need a horse with a hundred copper wings

And pass the vow from my mouth when I sing

I need a horse with a hundred copper wings

And pass the vow from my mouth when I sing

As I wept by the fireplace, smoke curl as the embers die

I thought I heard them whisper, begging me to step inside

I said a prayer granny taught me, knowing that I needn’t fear

Jumped on the coals, shut my eyes and waited for my flesh to sear

But it was cold and when I looked about, as dark as father’s well

My ears were filled with cries of anguish, I’d stumbled into Hell

I need a horse with my hundred golden wings

And pass a vow from my mouth when I sing

I need a horse with my hundred golden wings

And pass a vow from my mouth when I sing
