Title : Black Flowers Please
Intro/Vocals Only:
Oh when I saw you standing there
Wild flowers dying in your hair
Child of harvest time coughing up musk
Black flowers' dull perfume trailing in dusk
Hoisting dark pennants at the spike of the hill
Your smile started bleeding and then the mill
Shearing and sharing your love and your rage
Whilst dog's head descending
Spewed out a new age
It isn't very good
In the dark dark wood
In the middle of the night
When there isn't any light
Main Part:
C/EThere are four corners to the woGrld she said
C/EAnd every one is manned with firGe and ice
C/EThrough black glass darkly I canG see her truth
C/EArrayed and raised and raising wGalls of war
EmShe points to squares of wax and wrGites backwards
EmI veil my face from her and fromG her light
EmThe pointless games she plays ouGt for want of power
C/ETo slake her bloodlust and for sGake of pain
C/EHer ugly shapes breeding in her Gsecret mound
CThe Call of Aethyrs and the Dog GStar Crawl
CThere's one cracked bottle with Gno label on
CShe nods and gestures limply witGh her broken smile
CDo you fear death she says to me and shoGws me seven stars
CThe seven seals of her seven yeaGrs
Cof Rose Cross maGdness
EmWell christus tell us tAhat little children suffer
C/EIt's only right that we Emshould learn to suffer too!
Interlude/Vocals Only:
The first seven are red as blood
The second seven not so red
The third seven like whitish smoke
And all the world seemed to be in darkness
And all the world seemed to be in brightness
C/EThere are four corners tGo the world I lie
C/EIn forms of fire have luGrked across its floor
C/EAnd little banners displaying thGeir little creeds
C/EHave made our season on earth asG red as poppy fields
( C/E G ) x2
C/EThere are four corners to the woGrld she sighs
C/EThere are four corners to the woGrld she cries
C/EThere are four corners to the woGrld she lies
C/EThere are four corners to the woGrld she dies
