Ophelia
Blossoms floating on the face of the lake
Marks the watery grave
Of the fair Ophelia
Currents moving motes that fly between the lightDancing to the sound of angels
Singing aloud and rushing on and on
Soundless flowers falling to the rippling lake
Covering the evidence
Of the fair Ophelia
Humming ringing whirlpools moving roots of white
Weighing down limbs in velvet
Sinking down and singing on and on
Ripples washing on the sand of the shore
Echoing the silent sigh
Of the fair Ophelia
Currents moving motes that fly between the light
Dancing to the sound of angels
Singing aloud and rushing on
Humming ringing whirlpools moving roots of white
Weighing down limbs in velvet
Sinking down and singing on and on
When Flowers Fall
The beat that pounds inside the head A rising pulse with love to blame
The scar that marks the dread exchange
A blood deep kiss with love to blame
And when flowers fall around you all
They blind your eyes until you find that
Love and pain are both the same
Like poison sweet and death’s last beat
A tongue of fire shot down the throat
A fatal kiss with death to blame
A sidelong look cuts through the heart
A knife sharp glance with death to blame
And when flowers fall
The liquid falls and one falls dead
A small sweet death with love to blame
The blade is sharp between the bones
A cold hard death with love to blame
And when flowers fall around you all
They blind your eyes until you find that
Love and pain are both the same
Like poison sweet and death’s last beat
Spectre
Leave him alone leave him alone you won’t take him from me
With your withered flower stalk fingers and your moon struck eyes that do not see
You won’t take him from me
Rag clad bitch with baggy sad eyes Red forked tongue in a mouth a mile wide
Whirlwind hair marked by time
I won’t let you take what’s mine You hover behind him on the winding night road
You wrap around him when I leave him alone
You’re always there for no-one to see but I won’t let you take him from me
Crawl back to the hell where you came from
Slither on back before I make your blood run
You have no power over me
Now your power ceases to be
You have you have no you have no you have no power over me
Death’s Too Late
Cover me with lilies and lay down my head
Sink into the fragrant depths of this small bed forevermore
Realize the expanse of time and know it by name
Know the future and the past are all the same forevermore
Say what you say
Again and again
Yesterday and tomorrow
This will never change
I can hear the bells toll and I know
Death’s too late for me
Death is far too late for me
Look away to yesterday and see the coming night
Feel its fingers reach around and silence you forevermore
Say what you say
Feel my heart crimson beat against your own heart
Sink into the fragrant depths of this small bed forevermore
Close my eyes a final time while darkness sets inHold me close in memory while I return what was before
Say what you say
Again and again Yesterday and tomorrow
This will never change I can hear the bells toll and I know
Death’s too late for me
Death is far too late for me
Kiss of death
Lipstick on my cigarette makes a blood red kiss in the snow
Cold as my kiss is for you
Flesh that’s cold to the touch stings from the fierce winds that blow
But always the path leads to you
Wandering through the snow outside
Wondering if you’re still alive
In my heart
In my heart your love is the kiss of death
Ice in my falling tears clouds your image in my eyes
Cold as my glance is for you
Flame that burns my frozen heart
Clothed in black and leather love
Chains my heart once again to you
Wandering through the snow outside wondering if you’re still alive
In my heart
In my heart your love is the kiss of death
Lipstick on my cigarette makes a blood red kiss in the snow
Cold as my kiss is for you
Flame that burns my frozen heart
Clothed in black and leather love
Chains my heart once again to you
Wandering through the snow outside
Wondering if you’re still alive
In my heart
In my heart your love is the kiss of death
Turn Away
You knew it would happen, there was nothing to do
It’s happened before and now it’s happened to you
You were standing there waiting, you invited it in
You knew it should be someone but it had to be him
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene
Everything was lovely or it seemed it was so
The flowers and the kisses so deadly and slow
The whirlwind of wine and music and lights
They slipped away your senses in a bright field of white
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene
He killed you with your own heart He killed you with your own heart
Now everything’s over and your life is your own
You don’t know what happened, oh but you should have known
Your heart feels so empty you feel it cave in
You gave away your soul when you gave it to him
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene
Lover’s Bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
I’m condemned to a pit of death
Casting fire with every breath
Sinking deep for eternity
Existing as a casualty
I need some flesh to stay alive
For you, there is no place to hide
I saw your face the day I died
So slit your throat and come inside
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Oh, feeding yourself with lover’s bones
I am the goddess of hellfire
Climb upon my funeral pyre
Breathe the smoke of smoldered lungs
Taste the flesh that I have hung
Around the hell that I’ve created
When all my sins and I were mated
Put your head on the chopping block
Grip your wings and join the flock
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Evil is as evil was
There’s a black abyss where heaven was
Burn in hell for your own desires
Drain your blood to douse the fire
I need some flesh to stay alive
For you, there is no place to hide
I saw your face the day I died
So slit your throat and come inside
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Feeding yourself with lover’s bones
Oh, feeding yourself with lover’s bones
