lyrics

I reached to touch her golden hair
The girl in the electric chair
So frail beneath my fingertips
I leaned & kissed her hateful lips

Oh, why can't you remember me
Jesus Christ, I was in your dreams last night
Oh, I was laying next to you, your sacred muse for your abuse... The canopy came down

I stooped to touch her pale remains
Her eyes they died like simple flames
Celestial rose, virgin soul, infant sores
An orison, a chorus from an orphan song

Oh, yes I do remember you
Oria, you were in my dreams last night
You, you were in the orphan choir
with fixed mortality, you were a gleaming spire
With cloven hoofs & burning hair
Childhood braids & twisted stare
The passion post, the holy ghost
with locks & chains & a list of names
Wandering lost by the easter cross
that's old & gray & clothed in moss
By Posey's grave in the labor fire,
I beheld the burning choir

I turned to leave her body there
Twas then I felt her golden hair
She raised her head, she looked at me
her body bucked in misery
Her eyes were red, her eyes sunk in
Then Oria awoke again.... Oria
