Because The Night

I grow wild, young and bewitching 

One of many, I'm a dark rose

I glow in the dawn of your love 

Come to me and touch me 

 

I whisper slowly monstrosities 

That sound deliciously sweet to your ears

Such kissable petals I wear

But deadly toxic to the first bite

 

So fragile at the first sight 

Drink my poisonous tears

Bloody venom that will kill you 

Oh come to me baby 

 

Secretly my core wishes 

A storm could crack my stem 

Feel my spines piercing my life 

And fade away in my own trap 

 

But shush, it's a secret 

While I take your soul away

You will bow to my innocence, much... 

In the end, I'm only a dark rose
