Critical Error: Lady Fuchsia

Lady Fuchsia by Critical Error. Album: Critical Error. inspired by Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast'. LADY FUSCHIA Oh Lady Fuchsia, where have you been? Out in the woods Out in the wind Away from here, away from here Hair as black as midnight, crimson your robe Back in your empty room You find the blood red rose What keeps you here, is it love or fear? What keeps you here, is it love or fear? Now she lies as cold as ancient stone Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone In darkness, in darkness, in darkness Lost in the ritual, sealed in a living tomb The stranger preys upon you Haunts your secret room With cold desire, his face is fire With cold desire, his face is fire Your father's books are burning Madness in his eyes Gaining love and losing love The water's rise The storm is here, the end is near The storm is here, the end is near Now the flood has reached her window ledge She takes a step too far, the water drowns her easily. Takes her life, takes her breath It takes her life, brings her death Takes her life Now she lies as cold as ancient stone Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone In darkness and in death In darkness and in death In darkness and in death In darkness and in death Words and music by Steve Mavin / Rosie Mullin.
