The Shroud - Wallflower

Lovely child you're mine to keep
Trellised to the secret wall where no one can see
A treasured prize displayed like a butterfly
Innocent vision, a feast for the eye...

Willing victim shuns the daylight fire
Earthbound angel yielding to the twilight's dark desires
The messiah pinprick throbbing won't hurt for long
To die for devotion the flesh must be strong...

You will be my lovely wallflower
Freshly cut so young and beautiful
You will be my lovely wallflower...
Fragile beauty for show not to touch

Shining in the streams of light from the window high above Your lashes stir like birds on your bone smooth cheek
Emerald eyes uncovered from a lifelong sleep...

You will be my lovely wallflower
Freshly cut so young and beautiful
You will be my lovely wallflower...
