Kiss Of Death lyrics

They say if you ever kissed a man Your tongue would turn to ash And you'd be banished from the land But the creatures of the night Would come out to dance And the bat would leave his cave And he'd take you by the hand So I went into the forest And I laid down on the ground And I called into the heavens Till the blood-bird came down And I kissed him And the earth opened wide And the creatures came to life And the Moon began to cry And the ocean sang And the black sky cracked And I kissed him back And the blood-bird turned to ash They say if you ever kissed a man Your teeth would turn to pearls And you'd be born again And the creatures of the night Would be your closest friends And the bat would leave his cave And you'd be one of them So I went into the forest And I laid down on the ground And I called into the heavens Till the blood-bird came down And I kissed him And the earth opened wide And the creatures came to life And the Moon began to cry And the ocean sang And the black sky cracked And I kissed him back And the blood-bird turned to ash
