Fancy Execution

A blossoming shower of rose petals is what we once were
One by one each petal would fall into the flames of extortion
With the intense heat cooperating burning our romance to a crisp
Bittersweet revenge bleeding from the tender ashes
Tempers rising to new heights in the wake of the smoke

It is such a disgrace to allow our romance to deteriorate
Into a journey without a destination
Waging a war without reason
Oh why must you cast a shadow over ecstasy?
In exchange for a fancy execution
Displaying dirty deeds of greed

Desperate to satisfy your need for attention
Kicking and spitting on my precious legacy
Creating a halo of shame around my skull
While you carry on spewing your vicious lies
Disguised as threats forcing me to grasp
Reluctantly following your malicious concept
