Indelicates (The)

Roses
I breached the borders of your homeAnd everything looked as it should have doneCandle flame flickers and books unreadRound the crystal kept on an unmade bedFlowers cut to shrivel and die Like romance does and we both know whyWith an artful flutter as if on cueA gentle breeze brings the scent of youI'm older than God and I live in your townYou shouldn't raise up what you can't put downThose books that you pose with are more than antiquesWhen you search in the dark you should fear what you seekPallid in moonlight your shimmering skinIs mine to caress you invited me inThe delicate architecture of your throatArcs sweetly away as my hands approachDo you bleed diamonds Do you bleed rubiesDo you bleed rosesA broken kiss and an aching sighLike a half heard end of a lullabyA whispering chorus and a stifled moanThe jarring vibration of knife on boneThe stark composition of essence and partsSongtexteI gathered your limbs for a final danceA silent waltz to your songs unsungAs the lifeblood seeps from your punctured lungDo you bleed diamonds Do you bleed rubiesDo you bleed roses (x2)Oh you bleed diamondsYou bleed rubiesYou bleed roses (x2) Aus Songtexte Mania
