CaveofswordS - Datura

from Light for Shadows by The Women of STL Music

/

lyrics

Invasive seed tended tenderly
in a fertile sepulcher.
The purity of perfect blossom belie her brutality.
Datura round and white, spread your petals in the night
Atropa Bella Dona, luminous alluring sight
You want the air that I breathe to be poison, and you are
The darkness you wish on me is the darkness in your heart
The bitterness with which you regard me is your own
That poison draped in a smile, it is your tome.

Under sleepy spell of sundown rises up the sweetest scent
Who would guess those pendulous petals would warrant such regret?

Datura round and white- spread your petals in the night.
Atropa Bella Dona luminous alluring sight
You want the air that I breathe to be poison and you are
The darkness you wish on me is the darkness in your heart
The bitterness with which you regard me is your own.
That poison draped in a smile, it is your tome.
