lyrics

Scarlet scratches of a violent vein
Dancing and a-swayin to the bass drum bang
Singe me, swing me, shake my skin
Closer to heaven in the state I'm in
Ashes embers and their gruesome grace
Burning at a breakneck pace

Tell me, tell me it'll be alright
One way or another as the fevers rise
Send me smoking all the way behind
Sleeping in the embers where the sun don't shine
Sleeping so heavy just to pass the day
Moon rises as the creatures sway
In the fray

Pick me for my petals
Penny for my heart
Pretty as a wildfire
Gentle as the spark

Pick me for my petals
Penny for my heart
Pretty as a wildfire
Gentle as the spark

Pick me for my petals
Penny for my heart
Pretty as a wildfire
Gentle as the spark

Pick me for my petals
Penny for my heart
Pretty as a wildfire
Gentle as the spark

Pick me for my petals
Penny for my heart
Pretty as a wildfire
Gentle as the spark

Spin my bones, softer than envy
Let night call, the tap of your venom feet
Shift like flames a-fluttering, while my feet are stuttering
Phantom that moves the night, right
As the tom tom's move from under me, got me stumbling
Down into the bones
Of the ancient game, nocturnal flame, smoke into the stem
Of the red flower

The red flower
The red flower
The red flower
The red flower
The red flower
The red flower
The red flower
