Belladonna

Sunrise breaks its fatal perfume
And I’m dizzy to distraction
The scented clutches of a siren’s lament
Embrace the sound of enchantment
Five fathoms deep
The lovers leap
The lanterns of skin beckon us in
O, Belladonna
Nightfalls decent shrouds her intent
In a halo of sharks
And a skeleton mask
O, Belladonna
Daylight devours your unguarded hours
Burnt and charred
This bride of scars
O, Belladonna
Lost in the glare, all of us stare
The patterns of pain
Scream out your name
O, Belladonna
