The Heart Holds a Scarlet Sky
6/5/2009
She is soft as naked
Silken-like tenderness
Hungered on from before
Barely, almost devoured
The ancient secrets
Now hold iridescent
By a shadow's embrace
Beckons; will I follow?
O' rested she there
A viscous temptation
Like a vessel found
Thru eyes of a storm
Ah~ the skin on her back
Ascending souls up heaven
Her woven lines now realized
Amazing grace my beautified
Savoy:
"This sin of flesh
This mortal wound
This pound of fate
This rise of praise
These, mine love
I live in your daze"
I'll covet you whole
Drain your inner scent
Through late weary hours
A cello I watch you play
Laid you there so open
Came I, conjured vexation
Catching glimpses of a dawn
Blood and rain leaves a moan...
Isbell:
"Mine is broken under promised lies
Our bodies shaken under naked eyes
A soul is taken under Cupid's guise
Our sin afresh and a bleeding sky"
Live or die this moment
Brave I've staid the game
Now rest assured my woman
I've always known your name.
