In the garden after midnight
Where the silver roses die
There you found me in the shadows
With a secret in my eye
You reached for me like mercy
But your hands were dressed in war
And I knew before you touched me
I would never be yours
Beauty has a warning Written in the thorn
Some hearts are made for mourning Some are born to burn
Black orchid Blooming in the dark
Black orchid Poison in the heart Hold me close But don't forget
The deadliest flowers Are the ones you can't protect
You called me your salvation
Like a sinner calls the flame
But I was not your angel
I was never made for shame There is velvet in my silence
There is thunder in my blood
If you love me like a weapon
You will lose me like you should
Don't kneel
Don't pray
Don't ask me to stay
Black orchid Blooming in the dark Black orchid Poison in the heart
If I fall I fall apart Still I bloom Black orchid In
the dark (ooh) (ahhhh)
Black orchid
In the dark (ooh)
