| Moonspell – Scorpion Flower Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| Scorpion flower is aka Scorpion Weed, a variety of perennial wildflowers from the family boraginaeae, mostly in the genus phacelia. That is to say, a scorpion flower is a kind of forget-me-not! Thus it symbolizes love, death, and love-transcending-death. The breast that feeds is logically the bosom of a mother of lover. "Render tears to your mortal act / Flower cursed be thy fruit" is telling the flower to cry in remorse for it's death-related activity, or mortal act, and then curses it's fruit. (They do cause rashes and stings that can be rather nasty.) This whole song bewails an unknown tragedy | |
