Thorns from the Lab

singer A

Born from ash in a lab's cold light

Linden Thorne played god that night

Test tube daughters, flesh and lies

Susan Linden with borrowed eyes

They cut her down, they watched her bleed

But roots run deep beneath the weeds

Green fire crawling through her veins

The greenhouse broke her binding chains

melodic interlude

singer B

She’s the silence between the screams

The ghost that haunts corrupted dreams

Purple shadows, midnight flight

She blooms where men don’t see the light

I am Black Orchid, thorn and bloom

I rise from every empty tomb

Petals fall but I still stand

Justice growing from my hands

singer A

Sheriff’s daughter, poisoned bride

Secrets buried where two hearts died

Flora Black, Alexandra too

Every mask was something true

They hunted beauty, sold her skin

Made a weapon deep within

But every garden needs a blade

And she’s the debt that won’t be paid

transition

singer B

You called me myth, you called me weed

You planted fear and reaped your greed

But I’m the vine around your spine

The wild that takes back what was mine

Photosynthesis of rage

Turning every prison cage

Into a jungle... into a grave...

instrumental

singer A

I am Black Orchid, thorn and bloom

I tear the walls from every tomb

Petals burn but I still stand

Vengeance growing from my hands

Cut one down — the forest cries

Black Orchid never truly dies!

Black Orchid never truly dies!

Black Orchid never... truly... dies!

singer B

From Susan’s breath... to Flora’s name...

To every girl they tried to tame...

We bloom. We bloom. We bloom.
