lyrics

Shinju

orchids
bend in the heat
a filthy field of rippling cloth
fleshly smooth and beastly soft

what’s death by any other name
but a shade without a flame

flowers
of crepe and lace
sweet eye like an orchid
in the mouth of your bloated face
an eye like hate

what’s death by any other name
but a shade without a flame

orchids
with semen reek
come like flowers on the skin
lovers hands in twin
sever veins and stab at life again

what’s death by any other name
but a shade without a flame

orchids
in a riot of red
from a fount of mutual death
lilies as eyes and white skull’s grin
bloody red orchids absolving their sins

my lover in bloom
in bloody red clots
my lover in sackcloth
my lover in rot
