Wise men once said
Wild winds are death
to the candle
a rose by any
Other name is a scandal
cautions issued he stood
Shooting the
messengers
they tried to warn
him about her
Cross your thoughtless
heart only liquor
anoints you
She's the albatross
she is here
to destroy you
Wise men once said
One bad seed kills
the garden one
less temptress
One less dagger
to sharpen locked
me up in towers
but I'd visit in
your dreams
And they tried
to warn you about me
Cross your thoughtless
heart only liquor
anoints you
She's the albatross
she is here
to destroy you
Devils that you
know raise worse
hell than a stranger
She's the death
you chose you're in
terrible danger
And when that
sky rains fire on you
and you're persona
non grata
I'll tell you how
I've been there too
and that none
of it matters
Wise men once
read fake news
and they believed it
jackals raised
their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
you were sleeping
soundly when they
dragged you
from your bed
And I tried to warn
you about them
So I crossed my
thoughtless heart
spread my wings
like a parachute
I'm the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
looks now more
like an angel
I'm the life you
chose and all this
terrible danger
So cross your
thoughtless heart
She's the albatross
she is here
to destroy you
