The Queen of the Dead

How many times have I slipped away

Into the dark unknowing

The mirrors are all filled with blood

The evil eyes are glowing

Into the silence she sings a song

She sings her voice to death

And in the mist she twirls around

Like butterflies are dancing

The butterflies are dancing

When she wakes she dreams aloud

For sleep here is not easy

She tells the dead who walk on by

Of dreams of fog and thunder

She dreams of impossible things

She dreams the butterflies are dancing

The corpses gather all over

To greet the Dead Man's ferry

The sun won't shine for quite a while

And she's the only one to tell me

For her people are unknowing

They cannot see the butterflies are dancing

So here she wanders

Lost, alone

Among the crowds of ghosts and ghouls

If she'll ever find a place

Of shining gold

And warmth and life forever

Where butterflies are dancing

The butterflies are dancing

This is quite creative.Though it's some cool lyrics,it's still poetic.

[Rob Santana]

Your right this could be some cool lyrics. This looks like some DEFTONES lyrics!!!!!

I liked that! Very dark and intense does remind me of Poe. I can tell that there was a tune there but I felt more like waltzing to it.
I'll make sure to read your stuff.

[Alexa Tasch]

Thank you! Poe is m,y idol so it means a lot to me for you to say that! :) I'll read your stuff too if you request it to me!

[RachelReaper]

i like it, its quirky, but its morbid, but its mysterious, but its pretty, does that make sense? Its very interesting.

[Alexa Tasch]

It makes total sense. Thank you!
