In this harried life
Better to stay alone . . .
—then it's over
Avoiding
Petrified and badgered
Day by day
Once here and then you're gone
Breaking down, beguiling
Everyone's in hiding
Suspicion reigns
Charity denied
Run away, it follows
To the choicest hollows
The more you pray
The more it finds it's way
However does it choose?
—those with everything to lose
Escape? No way . . .
Ignorance IS breeding more decay
Where Blood Roses bloom
Virtue cannot flower
No point in fighting
Hope is the only way
