- Virgins and Savages -

By Rebel tiGer King

She walked thru the fire on a Sunday
Tempering her soul to match her witts
And all the while she stood and smiled like an Italian bride
Recieving envelopes of spring to stockpile her youth thru the winter

A virgin amongst savages

She is beautiful, a charred smile
The pressure to a diamond
But it all sounds less sincere
A french accent on a warm night in Rome
Beautifully tragic

She walked thru the fire on a Sunday
Tempering her soul to match her witts
An uneasy role with so much priviledge

Like a lamb who volunteers for the slaughter
What a beautiful thing
