Black Orchid Songtext / Lyric

So empty, like the life that ends

When leaves come down
They'll rot away
So begins the end
Consternation...
Hindsight only the shadow
In profound sadness, effigy of me

Just look at the flowers
They all have died
Seek the last inflorescence
So shall I...

Pick up the orchid
The black one and only
Now crown me with that
And bless me goodbye

Now pick up the orchid
The black one and only
Crown me with that
Please bless me goodbye

I don't remember of me living
What creature may endure more pain
I exist only in darkness
So alone on autumn nights

Now pick up the orchid
The black one and only
Crown me with that
Please bless me...

So empty, like the life that ends
