Surrender Into the Roses Lyrics
Last night you were on my balcony.
You needn't try, know the whole story.
Before it's too late I must get away,
But both of us know you must stay.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.
Tying garlic flowers around the room.
It keeps me safe, but oh! the sickly perfume.
Well, it makes me long for the good times,
When you were really alive.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.
You needn't try, know the whole story.
Before it's too late I must get away,
But both of us know you must stay.
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.
It keeps me safe, but oh! the sickly perfume.
Well, it makes me long for the good times,
When you were really alive.
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.

I'm guessing this must be based on some story in literature, as many of Kate's songs are/ Does anyone know who Camilla is? Is there some vampire reference here? (the garlic)
Apparently Kate wrote it after seeing "Blood and Roses" aka "Et Mourir de Plaisir" which is a 1960s French film adaptation of Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla", one of the earliest vampire gothic novels. Carmilla is the main character, a vampire who falls in love with her victim who is a young girl. This seems to be from the girl's point of view.
