|
In the midst of flaming ruins sits a scarlet woman bare |
|
Bearing arms of blooded silver sitting stalwart on a mare |
|
She has journeyed through salvation she has journeyed all alone |
|
She has journeyed through the twilight to find shelter in the sun |
|
Lashed inside a raven corset wearing heels immersed in ash |
|
Underneath her raven cloister she is blooded, bruised and scratched |
|
She has journeyed through forever turning feathers into stone |
|
Dressed in nothing but her girdle she bears carnage in her soul |
|
|
|
In the midst of blood and fire sits a scarlet woman still |
|
She is waiting for completion waiting patiently, tranquil |
|
She has journeyed through purgation watching crimson turn to black |
|
She is waiting for perfection scratching symbols in her back |
|
Clenching hands reveal a dagger made of silver, made of led |
|
She is cutting crests of crimson carving symbols in the dead |
|
From the apex of perfection hangs the loving Jesus crowned |
|
Crowned in thorns of misconception as a beacon to the blind |
|
|
|
In the midst of my desires sits a scarlet woman pure |
|
She has journeyed through the slaughter to unveil the truth of four |
|
Lashed inside her blooded girdle she is waiting for the rain |
|
To deliver her from evil and deliver her from pain |
|
Only seconds after waiting golden rain begins to fall |
|
It relieves her aching body and revives the burning soil |
|
As a consequence of murder foursome rises from the dew |
|
To desire more than nothing is a hunger of the few |
