Bargains Made in Ignorance

This one was made on a request from Ava, who asked for Buffy, in the dark, with moths. It didn't turn out quite the way either of us imagined, but I still think it's purty, if I do say so. The lyrics belong to Takata, who belongs to Kim Harrison. Thesongs's called Red Ribbons and the complete stanza is:

When desire's sold for freedom,

And need's exchanged for fame,

Those bargains made in ignorance,

Turn to blood-stained dreams of shame.

Red ribbons bind us,

Though no blood has been spilt.

No one told me they were wove of thorns.

No one told me of the guilt.

No one told me bonds of blood,

Were too poisonous to wilt.



Since this was inspired by one of Ava's plotbunnies, you go and bug her now, so she finishes it because believe me, this one needs to be written. Badly. And now... right. Art.
