Blood Tears

I broke inside
Roses are fading
It remains a forest of briars
"Slay the bride!" the thorns whispering
"Tear off that last flower down!"

Mortified, the one gardening
Hides his face and sinks in the tide
I'm all tied, the brambles as twines
And my puppeteer gloats :

"As you're powerless
Let me govern all your great Land of Flesh
Don't pray : your crumbling soul's helpless
Let drown your sun
Into the tears and the blood of those you love!"

I fall apart, my mind's torn and maimed
Alone in my stricken garden
"Watch them die!" the Wicked sneering
"Watch as you've watched them live!"

Putrified, I'm the Crooked Man
I hug my children an my wife
And I cry, they don't understand
I tell them that everything will work out

Start the Symphony of Scream
Open with care the great Door of the Skin
And here flows the blood
Yes ! And here flows the blood

“As you're knowledgeless
Now I govern all your great Land of Flesh
Don't pray : your crumbling soul's cureless
I bathe your sun
Into the tears and the blood of those you loved !”
