Lyrics

Flowers of Evil The rage and patience breathe Sacred love in death profane To metamorphosize The mem'ry smells of sex and pain Evil quelled by arson's flame Flowers swell with poison's shame It's cold and sinister Beauty loves a secret place Her melancholy mood Descends and shocks before it breaks Evil quelled by arson's flame (woe) Flowers swell with poison's shame (woe) Weave to please believe in dreams (let me go) Les Fleurs du mal in boldness screams (let me go) They shunned and stabbed the beast The image looked a lot like them Uncomprehending vile Art is lost and oft condemned Suppressed by six degrees Official sins are guilty crimes The verses paid in years Released at last like truth in wine Evil quelled by arson's flame (let me go) Flowers swell with poison's shame (let me go) Slowly take the knife Corrupting little faults Oppressing all your life (repeat) Evil quelled by arson's flame (woe) Flowers swell with poison's shame (woe) Weave to please believe in dreams (let me go) Les Fleurs du mal in boldness screams (let me go) Slowly take the knife Corrupting little faults Oppressing all your life (repeat until end)
