Lilly of the Valley
Pale as the moon
Something in your eyes
Is tortured
Something is wrong
And it's hurting me.

Lilly
So soft and beautiful
So pure yet painted
By the evils of the world.

Lilly
Please don't let them
Crush your petals
And throw you to the wind

Lilly, please love yourself
From the roots deep within.

Lilly of the Valley
Don't dance for the evil one
Who cares nothing
For how precious you are
Or how tenderly you need to be picked.

Lilly
You are special
You are beautiful
And only should be treated gently
Like the breeze that blows
Like the spring sun.

Lilly
Please don't let them
Crush your petals
And throw them to the wind
Scattered
Leaving the residue of worthlessness on your lips
Forever lost
From what once was within.
