The Hanging Dress

The Hanging Dress

The wind moves it back and forth 
It sways from side to side
The sun casts its glare on the lady
Her smile is never-ending and wide 

White are the many rows of structure 
The arcs shine bright in the sun 
The winged creatures all fly to her 
Her eyes cast their gleam on one 

Red is the dress that flutters
Light is the skin that is shown 
Blue are the luminous roses  
Around her chest dressed like stone

The wind moves her back and forth
She sways from side to side
The sun beats down on the hangman
Her smile is cut side to side

White are the many rows of structure 
Her ribs shine bright in the sun 
Vultures and ravens all feast on her
Her dimmed eyes show them they won 

Red is the torn dress that flutters
White is the skin that is shown 
Blue are the dying roses
That surround all her exposed bone

The wind moves it back and forth
It sways from side to side
There is no exception for the wicked
The husband hangs next to his bride

White are the many rows of structure
Rows of gallows shine bright in the sun
Vultures and ravens flock overhead
The hanged show who really has won

Red is the blood that runs over
Grey is the skin that is shown 
Blue are the tears of the loved ones
That chisel out names in the stone

The wind moves you back and forth
You're swaying from side to side
Beware O sinner of Judgement 
Find grace before the day that you die
