lyrics

Soak me in water
lay me down on the stone
Breathe in the cool air
lay me down on my own
Use every fiber, of my dress for what it's worth
Cover me in the Heather, I am food for the earth

Flowers like a crown
Are placed upon my broken skin
What an awful sound
You know it really makes me grin

Rage running through me in the midsummer light
Let it consume me I am done with my fight
I had this feeling, I was born to rule this fen
Sustenance for my healing sends me spinning again

Flowers like a crown
Are placed upon my broken skin
What an awful sound
You know it really makes me grin

A feverish dream
Led me from my home today
Deep in the stream
Where my mind wanders away

Laughing in anguish
wipe the blood from my chin
Speaking a language
seems to come from within
Here comes the mad man with the devil in his eyes
Whispering words of freedom from his mouth come the flies

Flowers like a crown
Are placed upon my broken skin
What an awful sound
You know it really makes me grin

A feverish dream
Led me from my home today
Deep in the stream
Where my mind wanders away
