From Seraphine

By netherbound

A burning fire, roots drying
Firebrands leave everything choking
Forbid you not, Forewarned you are
Come and see if you dare
Gonna feel no cool from Seraphine

Her fires burn on and on
The fire burns in all my ruin
All that I have seen and all I’ve done
Here burns Seraphine!
Ashes to ashes
Here she reigns, Seraphine!

A lonely wood, scorched earth
Watch the raven in my barren heart
Forbid you not Forewarned be all
Come and see if you dare
Gonna feel no cool from Seraphine


Light bleeds from my eyes
Darkness still my star
My dying roots aflame
Dead forever
Dead roots forever
........
Consumed by her flame,
I remain in her, eternally,
Seraphine.
