[Verse]
In the shadows deep
King in silence sleep
Salome's whispers creep
Night beneath the veil
[Verse 2]
Herod's mind she bends
Twisting plots she sends
John the Baptist's end
Blood to mark her trail
[Chorus]
Salome sways and sings
Dark the curse she brings
King obeys her strings
Power rise and fall
[Verse 3]
In the dungeon's gloom
Echoes of his doom
Head falls in the room
Silent midnight call
[Verse 4]
Herod’s heart she ties
None can see through lies
John's last breath he sighs
Darkness in the hall
[Bridge]
Beauty masks the pain
Innocence feigned and slain
Lost cries echo main
Kingdom’s heavy pall
