A. Scarlet Heart
by kalika

my heart’s now made of darkness,
I’ll play your game. 
on my chest; draw a scarlet A;
I’ll take all the blame.

 if you’re gonna brand me a villain, 
I’ll light up this flame.
I’ll spark a match just to watch the
world burn in your name. 

speak of the mighty devil, and she shall appear.
she’ll take everything from ya since you volunteered.

they say money’s the root of all evil,
but they’ve never met me.
I play with the devil’s advocate;
don’t dare bet against me.
get ready and heed my warning;
you ought to expect me.
a necessary evil, I had to become;
you will never forget me. 

I will take you down with me to face hellish frontiers.
we’ll go to hell in a hand-basket to find what you fear.

I’ll summon my rebellious hellions,
and zip up my Reaper jacket. 
I’ll melt and mix up magic to place
poison in your brass cup.
with threads of molten hot malevolence,
I’ll weave a flower basket.
rafflesias, wolfsbane, and monkey orchids,
I’ll lay them in your casket.

speak of the mighty devil, and I shall appear.
I’ll take everything from ya; for you volunteered.
you’ll go to hell in a hand-basket; I’ll learn what you fear.
you’re coming down with me to face hellish frontiers.
