lyrics

Arms bound to a willow
Waiting for the dagger's blow
Pale skin bathed in sunlight
Steel reflecting the daylight's glow

Oh the tragedy of youth
Shall you extinguish such beauty?

A glimmer of doubt
Is all you have left
Gaze upon the dagger,
Still pushing you forward

Drowning in acrid light
Tipping scales which lack center
Palms slashed, dripping in expiration
Their fallow soaked within their blight

Merging, into space without center
Collapsing over unrealized yearnings
Murdered, still clutching the dagger
Deciphering images upon his dying flesh

"One is fruitful only at the cost of being rich in contradictions. One remains young only on condition that the soul does not relax, does not long for peace."

Flowers blooming, from soft white flesh
O the frailty of youth, poured upon the cold ground
Exquisite white cloth dyed red, with the immaculate blood of youth.
