The Velvet Hunger (Madam Velvets Revenge)

[Intro] [Lyrics start almost immediately] They came for her, they set the fire Thought they'd burn her, break desire But velvet lingers, velvet stays And now they beg beneath her gaze [Verse 1] She ruled the night with silver grace A queen of whispers, painted lace But greed and fear, they sought her fall Lit the torches, cursed her hall The brothel lords, they schemed and lied Called her cursed, said she must die But fire won’t claim what death denies She rose again with hollowed eyes [Chorus] Now the velvet hunger grows Every debt is paid in bones They thought they’d end her, thought her weak Now they’re drowning, hear them shriek [Verse 2] The morning found their walls run red The velvet girls, no longer dead With lips of blue and hands so cold They danced, they laughed, they took control The men who built their cruel domain Now screaming ghosts, now rotting stains They bought her ruin, paid in blood And fed the roots where vengeance stood [Chorus] Now the velvet hunger grows Every debt is paid in bones They thought they’d end her, thought her weak Now they’re drowning, hear them shriek [Verse 3] Their precious dolls, once used, betrayed Now walk the streets in dead parade No pain, no chains, no master's hand Now they rule where dust once ran The velvet room, the red remains A throne where Madam Velvet reigns No man will own, no fire will burn Their fate was sealed—now it’s her turn [Bridge] [Slow, eerie, building tension] She whispered soft, Come close, my dear The night obeyed, the men knew fear Their hands once cruel, their laughter bold Now torn apart in graves gone cold [Chorus] Now the velvet hunger grows Every debt is paid in bones They thought they’d end her, thought her weak Now they’re drowning, hear them shriek [Verse 4] Now Madam Velvet walks alone Upon a throne of blood and stone The city bows, the streets are still They learned her wrath, they know her will Her girls stand tall, their justice done No master left, no war to run What fire failed, what death denied She now commands, the night’s her guide [Outro] They came for her, they set the fire Thought they’d break her, snuff desire But velvet lingers, velvet stays And now she rules—the Queen remains…
