Orchid Blossom In Red Winter

Orchid Blossom drips red blood
Orchid Blossom drips black and red
black petals on the white backdrop of heaven and hell
black petals on the white backdrop of winter snow

Orchids and Lilacs mingle in death
Orchids and Lilacs bloom
winter brings its own silent warning
winter comes with blood red

Snow White ever so peaceful
ignorant of the storm
rage on little tempest flower
cover weeping children in venom black red snow
