Black Orchids Under the Full Moon

Verdant forests turning darker Fog curling low around the pines Black orchids at the base of cherry trees Like something poisoned everything inside River water cold as silver Moonlight caught on broken stone There’s a shape moving between the branches But I don’t think I’m alone Chorus: Black orchids under the full moon Growing where the dead things bloom Cherry blossoms falling like ash White petals turning black too soon There’s something waiting in the treeline Something calling out my name Black orchids under the full moon And nothing in the woods stays the same Verse 2: Bare feet in the wet earth Cold mud underneath my nails There’s smoke hanging in the distance And a strange wind moving through the veil Every animal has gone silent Even the river sounds wrong And there’s something in the way the shadows move Like they’ve been watching all along Chorus: Black orchids under the full moon Growing where the dead things bloom Cherry blossoms falling like ash White petals turning black too soon There’s something waiting in the treeline Something calling out my name Black orchids under the full moon And nothing in the woods stays the same Bridge: Broken branches in the dark Footprints leading through the rain There’s blood beneath the river water But the current hides the stain The fog is getting closer now The trees are closing in And somewhere in the distance Something smiles without a face Final Chorus: Black orchids under the full moon Growing where the dead things bloom Cherry blossoms falling like ash White petals turning black too soon There’s something waiting in the treeline Something calling out my name Black orchids under the full moon And nothing in the woods stays the same
