Bride Adorned

Blessed Stillness?

Bride Adorned


Compulsory epilogue 
complicity forbidden 
sore transgression 
controversy 

I'm impaled by riots of laughter 
All deranged 
I am scoured after 

In gloomy thoughts 
Yielded to temptation 
Despite the battles fought for consolation 

As I fall deeper to my dreams 
Until deathlike stillness 
Demands its sacrifice on the darkest of night 

Water and fire will unite when bells toll 
Ashes will fill the morning sky so calm 

Circled by fire 
Obey your desire 
Chanting glance 
Join the reapers round dance 

Take me in to the dark temptations 
Break me make me survive 
Drench me in tears when tender valediction 
Confides in me 

Water and fire will unite when bells toll 
I shall live on in the minstrels' songs 

Tyrant unveiled 
Joy -pernicious 
Mirth -portentous 
Menace greet me 
Disciple of malady
