Dance of the Red Flower

Scarlet scratches of a violent vein Dancing and a-swayin to the bass drum bang Singe me, swing me, shake my skin Closer to heaven in the state I'm in Ashes embers and their gruesome grace Burning at a breakneck pace Tell me, tell me it'll be alright One way or another as the fevers rise Send me smoking all the way behind Sleeping in the embers where the sun don't shine Sleeping so heavy just to pass the day Moon rises as the creatures sway In the fray Pick me for my petals Penny for my heart Pretty as a wildfire Gentle as the spark Pick me for my petals Penny for my heart Pretty as a wildfire Gentle as the spark Pick me for my petals Penny for my heart Pretty as a wildfire Gentle as the spark Pick me for my petals Penny for my heart Pretty as a wildfire Gentle as the spark Pick me for my petals Penny for my heart Pretty as a wildfire Gentle as the spark Spin my bones, softer than envy Let night call, the tap of your venom feet Shift like flames a-fluttering, while my feet are stuttering Phantom that moves the night, right As the tom tom's move from under me, got me stumbling Down into the bones Of the ancient game, nocturnal flame, smoke into the stem Of the red flower The red flower The red flower The red flower The red flower The red flower The red flower The red flower
