Brides

I feel the white lace
Virginal and white
Unstained by scarlet flesh
And holding hands with
Stone cold skin

No way to stay awake
With four poster bed?
And velvet curtain
A frightened face
That shys away
To stay all night seems
So uncertain

The darkness gone
The light explodes
Into another empty dawn
Through minds apart
Through bodies worn
I stake a claim
Through darkness torn
The screaming silence
Of fools who cry
Like china dolls
Unfeeling
Join the brides
Join the brides
Join the brides
Join the brides
