A White Dress

A white dress 
a figure at rest
The grace of the west
A white dress
Elegant and built to impress
A white dress forlorn and driven apart
An empire in duress
Bold hold and driven apart 
a white dress
Grow old and heaven holds
As man pulls asunder and driven apart 
The hand grows bold
And driven apart 
The rhythm of a heart beat
Grow cold as sleet
Drifts down to the face of man
Hands grow old 
Rhythmic heart beat
Kill the king as lovers part
As man summons the dark
A white dress
Feel the duress
Systemic heart beat
Grow cold, driven afar
Love lost, heaven torn part
Bold hold the rhythm of heart
a white dress 
a figure at rest
The grace of the white west
A white dress
An Elegant empress
A white dress forlorn, torn apart
empire in stress 
Bold hold, driven apart 
a white dress
Empress 
Grow old, heaven holds
man plunders
driven apart 
And empire ageless 
Bold hold but driven apart 
Kill the king
As lovers depart
A white dress 
An Empire of Less
