Scarlet Woman

I saw her standing there,
Boundless in scarlet grandeur
A third eye fixed at a blazing fire
Venus rising with the left hand,
As the flame devours the right
Still her chest as calm, as the lid of a tomb
She pours her blood
Back into the womb of the earth

A mark of unearthly wisdom
Buried sage into her heart
Can't lament what they have taken
As it amounts to none

It's not the sort of wisdom,
You can divert your eyes from
It will its way through the puzzle of flesh
She climbs the highest mountain, to know,
To dare, to will and fall silent
Just when you think you're chosen,
And as you gaze into the horizon
Her piercing look still shows no motion

A mark of unearthly wisdom
Buried safe into her heart
The blood bestowed in stone
Restores the elements to one

Through seven of dust and mire
She still triumphs the crystal gods
The roots go deep and aspire higher
The lily in a restless dream

The circle around her grave
Was never completely cast
What back then was set in motion
Shines scarlet in the morning light

The circle around her grave
Was never completely cast
What back then was set in motion
Shines scarlet in the morning light
