As Our Orchid Burned [song]

[Talking]
Go, go get the lighter
I'll grab our flower; baby just go,
They say if we burn it, we'll last forever
The flames illuminating our embracing shadows...

The night we set it ablaze
Romance tainted the air a red hue,
Electricity streaming through our veins
As our lips met with passion renewed

And as our orchid burned,
The flames reached higher and claimed the stars
At the stem of the flower, our future formed
As it was consumed and reduced to colorful ash

The petals fell from where our hands were twined,
Cascading into a pile between our feet
Blooming upon the ground into a love refined
Tension slipping away into the passing breeze

And as our orchid burned,
The flames reached higher and claimed the stars
At the stem of the flower, our future formed
As it was consumed and reduced to colorful ash

We pulled each other closer and watched
As it disintegrated and blew away,
Taking our life, our love, to the gods
Telling them of us; whispering what we couldn't say

And as our orchid burned,
The flames reached higher and claimed the stars
At the stem of the flower, our future formed
As it was consumed and reduced to colorful ash

And as our orchid burned,
The flames reached higher and claimed the stars
At the stem of the flower, our future formed
As it was consumed and reduced to colorful ash.
