Devil's Bride

You were standing on the beach alone Sky was fading, blurring into night shadows Wearing a white wedding dress You waited with a bouquet of ruby red roses The moon is glowing now, budding into a full moon Pouring its molten silver on the ocean and on you The devil comes, and here comes his darling raven Out of shattered waves, out of dark that swollen He kisses your leafy lips and embraces Sanctifies you and deflowers your innocence You became devil's bride, you are lying In rose stained blood , celestial naked The fiend has set you free from spasm and pain Of your wildflowers' days You feel flying like a shooting star To deep black, far, far away, far
