beautiful dutchess

blood of my blood

unfold your wings

soar from this flood

–

I am the black

born of the snake

you are born of sky

far from

this heartbreak

–

I will burn for you

I will eat the lash

I will bathe in fire

swallow caustic mash

–

beautiful dutchess

blood of my blood

unfold your wings

soar from this flood

–

I will think of

laughing little ones

on some mystic emerald isle

when you are happy

I will burn

with a smile
