Liselotte

Long, dark locks frame a pale face.

She pulls her stockings up past her knees—

An undying commitment to blood and lace.

 

Here she wields a heavy mace

In fantasies of revenge.

Long, dark locks frame a pale face.

 

She is the victim in an impossible race,

Never as beautiful and she desires;

An undying commitment to blood and lace.

 

They came and left without a trace,

Oh! Those murderers so cruel!

Long, dark locks frame a pale face.

 

Kissing at the makeup running down her face.

She submits to the pain.

An undying commitment to blood and lace.

 

She keeps a single flower in a cracked old vase,

The one memory that never seems to fade.

Long, dark locks frame a pale face:

An undying commitment to blood and lace.
