Deadly Nightshade

Lyrics and music: Holly Strain © 2005

Verse 1:

This door is sealed by darkness,

The Black Gate to Nocturnal happiness,

Like alluring fragrances from a dreamy wood.

Verse 2:

These violets swaying gently in the cold breeze,

Entombed in crystal ice, yet they do not perish,

Do not die, do not surrender to winter's fatal kiss.

Verse 3:

Eternally in darkness, like the dreary Churchyard,

A raven spreads its wings like a fallen angel taking flight,

Just like the moonlight.

Verse 4:

Glistening in the graveyard,

The poison that he took,

Belladonna Nightshade,

Deadly Belladonna…
