Remember the song
That remains unsung ?
Well, a conqueror has come
To declare it done.

A woman with multiple eyes
Has come with a surprise
A demon in tow
It sings the Song of the Crow.

Tenderly she plays the keys
Says to the demon, "Protect me, please."
The demon chants while the notes ascend
The smoke around the piano reaches a dead end.

The woman laughs
The demon as well
She smiles while
The music swells.

The demon resumes
While the monster tries to consume
The ground at their feet.

The woman plays on
Trying to finish the song
Her brow is sweaty
The music is heavy.

The demon is tired
The monster is on fire
One by one victims of the song
Appear unharmed
They've all been released of it's charm .

The singer of the Crow
Bends down real and slowly
Showers her mouth with kisses
Peppery, like snow.

That is the last
They've heard of them both
Their names have lived on
In The Last Books of Hope
