Lucifer and Luminitsa

He was a figure of mid-light across the emberlighted hall
The only one to notice me alone against the wall
The other girls were like flowers, burning brightly at the ball
Though they tried to catch his eye, he wanted me above all
And when we danced he put his arms around me, cold and danced sweet
And as he left, I saw that he had cloven hooves instead of feet
In the morning he came calling, granny hid me 'neath the stairs
She tried to tell him I was gone, but somehow he knew I was there
Then he burst in, he swallowed granny up and chased me as I ran
He grabbed my hair, tore out a lock as he flew back among the damned
I need a horse with a hundred copper wings
And pass the vow from my mouth when I sing
I need a horse with a hundred copper wings
And pass the vow from my mouth when I sing
As I wept by the fireplace, smoke curl as the embers die
I thought I heard them whisper, begging me to step inside
I said a prayer granny taught me, knowing that I needn’t fear
Jumped on the coals, shut my eyes and waited for my flesh to sear
But it was cold and when I looked about, as dark as father’s well
My ears were filled with cries of anguish, I’d stumbled into Hell
I need a horse with my hundred golden wings
And pass a vow from my mouth when I sing
I need a horse with my hundred golden wings
And pass a vow from my mouth when I sing
