BELLADONNA


Sunrise breaks its fatal perfume 
And I'm dizzy to distraction 
The scented clutches of a siren's lament 
Embrace the sound of enchantment 
Five fathoms deep, the lovers leap 
The lanterns of skin beckon us in 
O belladonna 
Nightfalls decent shrouds her intent 
In a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask 
O belladonna 
Daylight devours your unguarded hours 
Burnt and charred, this bride of scars 
O belladonna 
Lost in the glare, all of us stare 
The patterns of pain, scream out your name 
O belladonna
