In a dusty magic orchard, my soul lost its worth.
Where a garden of poison fruit called from the Earth.
There, A tree stood. It was beautiful. It was dark.
But when the glare from the moon revealed me to its bark,

It's branches took hold. I knew I was ensnared.
Ripped out my intentions, as dust filled the air.
Its trunk overtook me, no matter my strain.
As I was trapped in a euphoria, divine... and insane...

Beyond the veil of roses we know of the thorns,
That Deception, omnipresent, that slowly adorns.
All beauty seen, only masked an ugly face.
In a statuette state, watched my world shift it's shape.

Each petal a facade, each leaf was a lie.
This enchanted tree, has now silenced my cry.
My soul, now ensnared to its beautiful spell,
My search in desperation, formed a path straight to hell.

Deep In this garden, I remain without vision.
Controlled at its will, my roots bound in addiction.
Only one tale unfolds for my soul. I'm too deep,
As my cries become screams, I'm as silent as sleep

Adore not this garden. oh sad, starving heart.
For this magical garden will tear you apart.
Never eat from her harvest. Don't mask your own dread.
Run far from this soil feeding my life to the dead.
