on a hot summer wind that the night had blown in a vision a siren in black, with green velvet eyes and a porcelain smile the fireflies
danced in her hair she said
“please can you help me, i’m lost and
i’ve nowhere to go, please can you be the kindest soul?”
well i couldn’t resist her undauntable charm as she brushed passed me through the door, there was something inside burned i just
couldn’t hide, i’d never seen beauty before “please can i stay, for my body is weak to the bone, and can you tell me are we alone?”
heaven is only one kiss away and i can take you as long as we stay
well, the first lie i told was my wife had been gone one year ago to this day and i still hear her cries in the trembling night and the nightmares just won’t go away “please come close and look deep in my eyes” and i watched them turn black as night
heaven is only one kiss away, and i can take you as long as we stay heaven is only one kiss away. hells here on earth boy so drink for today well i watched her lay sprawling, beckoning and calling, burning holes right through the floor and the wind started howling and my hands started shaking and the smell of death rose through the air “this is the last thing that i’ll ask of you, embrace me tonight and let us take flight” her siren song seeped slowly into my head as i drew her close to my lips and as they gently touched i felt a terrible rush as the life was crushed right from my heart with my last breath i watched the black angel of death spread her wings in bliss for she had stolen my soul through a kiss heaven is only one kiss away and i can take take you as long as we stay heaven is only one kiss away hell’s here on earth boy so drink for today
