Of Scarlet Ribbions and Dark Times
Searing pain
Searing pain
Beautiful name
Beautiful name
Chains of ribbon
Scarlet, bloody ribbon
Bind you hand and foot
Cannot speak
Cannot scream
Blissfully drugged in ecstasy
Drugged on greed and misery
Silk smooth hisses say;
To be happy, we are happy
Pull you closer
Deeper sleep
Money green as spring
Raining down soft joys
Electricity in your veins
Eyes break open from rust
Glowing sight
Glowing sight
Endless night
Endless night
Can end with light
Scissors snipping
Gnawing at the steel ribbons
Break
Break
Break free
Or sleep
Sleep
Sleep in gluttony
