lyrics
Once again, the drama begins,
She flies on black wings,
Floats and dives and turns and spins,
She flies on black wings.
Creeps up through the carpet swirl,
In on sighs and shredded hearts,
Crawling with the purple insects,
Ripped apart, ripped apart.
Passing through the deadhead rose,
Tawdry bloom of doom and gloom,
Red petals and shining thorns,
Dying soon, dying soon.
Once again, the drama begins,
She flies on black wings,
Floats and dives and turns and spins,
She flies on black wings.
Sinks or swims in the bloody spray,
On waves of loss and love,
Drowning in the yellow light,
Drifts above, drifts above.
Desire in thrall to gathered hordes,
Savage heart of crimson hue,
Clawing through to bitter end,
Hating you, hating you.
Once again, the drama begins,
She flies on black wings,
Nasty, filthy, feathered things,
She flies on black wings.
