Lyrics

When a woman acquires a certain age And the men who adored you no longer swoon It pays to avoid the sunlit days And live by the light of the kindly moon But the moon grows old just like us all And her beautiful years are done So now she preys through endless days To take Her revenge On the sun When I was a girl at my daddy's side Papa, the royal mortician Revealed to me, in secret signs The mark of the magician And daddy was no dummy Did outrageous things with a mummy And often the stiffs that he would shrive Would look better dead than they did alive I studied well, I learned the trade I thought my looks would never fade If I could find that recipe To give eternal youth to me It was always my ambition To use papa's tuition And gain some small remission From the vagaries of time Every little ray of sunshine Robbed me of my youth Who to blame? Who, the one Who to curse? You know the only one to blame would be my enemy the sun Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light) Claim your right (Claim your right) To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness) Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light) Neophytes (Neophytes) Of a world of darkness (Of a world of darkness) Supai, baby, turn me on Every wrinkle soon be gone I could squeeze myself with glee The promises you made to me I've really stopped at nothing Murder, treachery and lying Whatever it takes to keep my looks I mean, you can't blame a girl for trying Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light) Claim your right (Claim your right) To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness) Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light) Neophytes (Neophytes) Of a world of darkness (Of a world of darkness) Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light) Claim your right (Claim your right) To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness) Snuff out the light Here tonight (Vespers of eternal darkness Spiraling in circles through the night Creatures of beguiling blackness No more squinting in the night) Bats and owls and coiled sea dragons Crocodile and carrion beasts Swirling in the growing darkness Join us in the coming feast Spectre, wraith and apparition Spirit, demon, phantom shade Salamander, serpents, dog-faced devils Dance and watch the dying sunlight fade
