Beauty Of The Beast lyrics

Flickering, the shadows fall across my eyes Across the walls Time engulfs me once more I'm in the place and I'm enthralled This mists that creep, the hound that howls The lightning illuminates the towers Is it only I can see The beauty of the beast? (Your magic never ceased) With quickening pulse what lies behind the door A curious step retreats once more The creature with a darkened soul A story of the Damned unfolds Bela, Boris, Basil, Lon, Lorre, Vincent, now all gone Looming pallid on the screen The beauty of the beast Your magic never ceased And now though a curtain has been drawn You go on forever as before
