Lily of the Valley Lyrics

In their realm I thought they would embrace me

Blush bells hang from stock in perfect motion

We stood at the zenith of their generosity

We tied them down; flensed their delicate flesh

Enlushed by the gentle swaying of their guarded leaves

If only I could drink the sun with unbound understanding

We stood at the zenith of their generosity

We tied them down and flensed their delicate flesh

I came here to assuage that grudge

But their love is the distant waning warmth

Of a mother's first and final embrace

I was on the path that all life used to know

here to learn the names that came before

I felt their tepals burn into my torpid eyes

In wicked bloom they recede from view

So how are you to trust my crumbled wisdom

How are you supposed to know the way?

Mother, leave your sympathy

Mother, just throw me away

End this lest others be hurt

End this lest we end it first

Sweet lily, unleash your poison

Kill me and all gone astray
