LYRICS:
Tonight when you go to sleep
I pray your god your soul is in too deep
Should you die before you wake
I'll know your life was a big mistake
I don't want to kill you
All I want is just to see your pain
I want you to suffer
Again…

This is the first rough, acoustic take of the song 'Iris Florentine' from the album Orchids for Betty.
It's super acoustic and just three mono tracks mixed to a stereo file, so don't expect too much by way of production values.
