My skyward craft was deconstructed. Left to dust, it could have flown, Had not this toy sung it to home.
It was my fault that it resembled, Far too much, a fleeting moth. So long this world and all its nightmares, So long my friend, the aching world.
For too long my father, soaked in slaughter, Held this grudge on a seeking child.
Welcome my laughter, disguised as a daughter, Unrecognized by her sick godfather: A real machine made to unleash.
Her naked smile is a gate to Hell, Behold, inside a metal burning trail. When the fuse is short, the clouds will burst. A real machine set to release the curse.
