Saint Avangeline - Lilith

 

LYRICS: Her skin glowed green and blue The starry sky dimmed by fiery hues My white dress blew in midnight’s view Of the world reborn, begun anew Two thousand years and twenty more And she looked beautiful as ever before As she pushed me down into the warm Water deep below my clothes were torn Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m dyin’ Why won’t you set me free? I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind The petals softly floating into my eyes I felt your fingers slowly crawl up my spine We didn’t have to sink for you to be mine Her eyes were as red as dawn As she held me down under the pond Fireworks filled the sky beyond I heard the cheers from above the lawn Soft hands brushed through my thighs You were evil - everyone had realized Thought I was different, thought I’d save your soul Guess you can’t save what isn’t half of a whole Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m dyin’ Why won’t you set me free? I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind The petals softly floating into my eyes I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck When did our love become this shallow shipwreck? Two thousand years and twenty more and I thought I was weaker than I had ever been before But the moonlight’s rays hit the water below and it was now or never to swim to the garden and oh, Did she push and pull tryin’ to get me to drown But the lilies in my mind began to run aground As I gripped and dragged myself along the dirt I turned back to face the girl I loved for all of my hurt Said “my dear this is it, I have got to go” And she faded in the deep and murky water below Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m cryin’ My pain will stay with me Lilith you siren You were so cruel and so mean Lilith I’m tryin’ To love life now that I’m free
