Caged marionette, dance for me
Your glass chains hold no reins
It's time to break free.
The Light only shows you known lanes,
I will lead you down greater plains.
Your gaze is uncertain,
You falter ever so slightly.
Fear not, lost kitten,
I am yours for eternity.
Young Antoinette, come to me
A train of sorrow ー your best dress
So throw away that leaden pedigree.
The old masters may try to oppress,
Noble heartache you must suppress.
You take one last look
As I wait for thee,
At the safe sullen rook,
A prison it will no longer be.
Naive brunette, sway with me
For the heart and soul you sold,
Was it not I who answered your plea?
Tonight, we shall step past a new threshold,
Its whereabouts ー to God and enlightened beings, untold.
In darkness and damnation,
You remain smitten with me.
With no fear or salvation,
We waltz through tragedies.
