sunrise breaks its fatal perfume 
and I'm dizzy to distraction 
the scented clutches of a siren's lament 
embrace the sound of enchantment 
five fathoms deep, the lovers leap 
the lanterns of skin beckon us in 
o belladonna 
nightfalls decent shrouds her intent 
in a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask 
o belladonna 
daylight devours your unguarded hours 
burnt and charred, this bride of scars 
o belladonna 
lost in the glare, all of us stare 
the patterns of pain, scream out your name 
o belladonna
