Black Orchid

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
A flake of snow within a stormA new way waiting to be bornIn a world with need of changeA touch of love in fear of hateA rushing wind that's asked to waitFor the promises of rainA pearl of wisdom entrapped by povertyShe gives love with purityFilling minds with hopeful schemesTo build worlds enhanced by peaceDraped in sparkling morning dewShe expresses life anewFrom the earth beneath her feetShe is a flower that growsIn love abilityShe's femininityBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy did they make you beginWhen they know in time you'll find your truthbefore your cycle endsBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy are you crying their fearsWhen the true reflection of you that they seeIs love besieged by yearsShe has touched the farthest starHer beauty speaks of what we areAnd her freedom makes us freeHer now is in eternityInfinite to all that seeAnd her dreams have been achievedNow there is a sound of laughterNature signs out her nameFor the world to know her fameBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy did they criticizeWhen they knew your love could cast its spell andconsecrate their eyesBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy do you linger in spaceWhen you know in every heart that beatsYou hold a special placeWhen you know in every heart that beatsYou hold a special place
