I have come to inform everyone of you From this gazette that I'll read to you It's a tale about a beast called Love And the fruit that only a few man have
They say fruit is thick and fleshy And its smooth and shiny They say its so beautiful that eating it may be a waste But it is the sweetest thing you'll ever taste The tree that holds the fruit
Is garlanded with flowers These flowers grow larger than a foot And their vines as tall as towers
It's never out of season It's always there for the picking But there's a reason That only a few men come looking
It is guarded by a beast So twisted and grotesque That even one of the best Will be put to the test
Fangs as sharp as swords Claws as long as knives And a bite or a wound Is enough to ***** out your life
A touch on its skin is even worse You may think it's fine but it is not It's enough to make your skin rot It's akin to a curse
Its breath is a lethal poison And one that's very hard to cure And the pain is mostly the reason Why it's very hard to endure
Its blood is acid It can turn metal into goo And if you're not careful It'll turn you into one too
Even the flowers wither beneath its feet And the hearts it touches stops its beat Such is the creature that they call Love Guarding the treasure that only a few will have
This is what it means to live by the knife To obtain something you shouldn't have So are you willing to risk your life Just to obtain the fruit of love?
