Lady Fuchsia by Critical Error.
Album: Critical Error.
inspired by Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast'.
LADY FUSCHIA
Oh Lady Fuchsia, where have you been?
Out in the woods
Out in the wind
Away from here, away from here
Hair as black as midnight, crimson your robe
Back in your empty room
You find the blood red rose
What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
In darkness, in darkness, in darkness
Lost in the ritual, sealed in a living tomb
The stranger preys upon you
Haunts your secret room
With cold desire, his face is fire
With cold desire, his face is fire
Your father's books are burning
Madness in his eyes
Gaining love and losing love
The water's rise
The storm is here, the end is near
The storm is here, the end is near
Now the flood has reached her window ledge
She takes a step too far, the water drowns her easily.
Takes her life, takes her breath
It takes her life, brings her death
Takes her life
Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death
In darkness and in death
