To the Amber flames

His voice is like a drug to me …

I stay in trance of it for days ..

Let him be death of me,

Like a sweet slow knife.

To the dark woods,

To the amber flames,

I've given my heart ..

What'll they do to me ?

To the cold weapons,

To the pink poison,

I have given my heart …

What'll they do to me ?

To that bewitching brute,

To that Himeros’ heir,

I have given my heart ..

What'll they do to me ?

Perhaps ..

What happens to that Firefly..

To be lit once it tries .

Gives all her life ..

And dies.

let me spend all my love ..

Until those blue eyes of his ,

Melt down to look at me !

That grey heart ..

Let me fill red of me !

To the dark woods,

To the amber flames,

I've given my heart ..

What'll it do to me !
