When Flowers Fall
The Shroud
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...
