Deadly Nightshade |
| The silent prophet |
| Seeks his inspiration after midnight |
| With a candle lit for comfort |
| In the shadow of the shade |
| Belladonna |
| Waves a parasol beneath the window |
| So enchanting and inviting |
| In the scheme that she has laid |
| The lonely prophet |
| Waves to Belladonna from the window |
| In the hope that she will notice |
| And may wish to know his name |
| But cruel Belladonna |
| Turns to face the waiting sunrise |
| With its promise of excitement |
| Thinking little of the game |
| Shine your lantern brightly |
| Do not heed the darkness lightly |
| We must always talk politely |
| In the presence of the night |
| Deadly nightshade |
| Hear me calling |
| Shadows of the evening |
| Falling down |
| The quiet prophet |
| Gathers up his papers for the fire |
| He alone will read the message |
| In the words that he has burned |
| Belladonna tries the door |
| To find the room is empty |
| And she coldly rakes the ashes |
| For the love that she has spurned |
