To The Scarlet Woman

To my dear, dear, scarlet woman,

Your thin hands I used to hold

As your crimson waves crash upon my brow

Oh what a sight the masses behold

We became an ill shrouded romance

I wouldn't have it another way

But all poor magicians must be revealed

When I shattered your heart that fateful day

Please, my dear scarlet woman

I know of the curse you bestowed

For I shall never court another lover

Banished to die lonely and old

Forgive the actions of the burgeoning soul

He knew not what was done

I am senior now, my scarlet girl

Consuming innocence is no longer fun

My sacrilege you shall never forget

Yet I only ask an ear

Release me from this damnation

Allow me to replace the tears

It will be as it was in the beginning

Ancient times reborn with love

A supernatural romance...

That the elder poets write of

Alas! Your heart has turned to stone

A monstrosity you've become

Oh it is I that must take the blame

For I am the wickedest one

My dear scarlet woman

I was a fool to right the wrongs

Tonight I will dine with death

As I sing the light bearing songs
