The Wild Branch of Rose

Midnight gave warning
The stranger's cruel arrival
Would corrupt all the innocence she perceived in her heart
She heeded it not
And answered his knock

Suffer me not this moment to say
I'm sorry for all of the times that I gave
You nothing but rage
No flowers no page
Of soft tender verse
Though I give this too late
I want you to take and place on my grave
This wild branch of rose so that you will be safe
From my endless hell that I can't dispel
And it's intricate maze
That's trapped you so well

Years passed draining
Her artful soul kept giving
I cannot take it away
This pain that I placed in your life

But I leave this branch
Your one respite

I don't mean to break destroy or forsake
It's just in my nature
God made me this way
Infallible of sin yet you let me in
Again and again in the faith that you'd win
Me over one day
But I've lost my way
I left you with darkness and nothing to say
To wander in haze and ponder your days
And your generous ways
I surely have betrayed

Suffer me not this moment to say
I'm sorry for all of the times that I gave
You nothing but rage
No flowers no page
Of soft tender verse
Though I give this too late
I want you to take and place on my grave
This wild branch of rose so that you will be safe
From my endless hell that I can't dispel
And it's intricate maze
That's trapped you so well

The wild branch of rose
(Will bloom in place of me)
The wild branch of rose
The wild branch of rose
(Will bloom in place of me)
The wild branch of rose
The wild
The wild
The wild
Branch of rose
Of rose
Of rose
Of rose
