The shadow, behind where darkness lies
A glittering coal flowing with grace,
The robe of a thousand agonies,
The angel who fell from grace;
Behind him is the Chase,
A pack of hellhounds,
Burning eyes and feiry mouths,
Snapping jaws full of fangs;
The luminous girl runs,
Her broken wings tucked,
Her silvery gown ripped,
Her golden sandal missing a pair;
Through the Howling forest,
Where the shadows lie,
A trap she did not expect,
A contraption snapped;
Her foot caught on a jaw,
A steel mouth full of teeth,
Scarlet streams oozing,
Deep pools in the earth;
Now the Agonies come close,
The Chase opening its maw,
The liquid fire bursts,
And Ivy finally burns...

The shadow, behind where darkness lies
A glittering coal flowing with grace,
The robe of a thousand agonies,
The angel who fell from grace;
Behind him is the Chase,
A pack of hellhounds,
Burning eyes and feiry mouths,
Snapping jaws full of fangs;
The luminous girl runs,
Her broken wings tucked,
Her silvery gown ripped,
Her golden sandal missing a pair;
Through the Howling forest,
Where the shadows lie,
A trap she did not expect,
A contraption snapped;
Her foot caught on a jaw,
A steel mouth full of teeth,
Scarlet streams oozing,
Deep pools in the earth;
Now the Agonies come close,
The Chase opening its maw,
The liquid fire bursts,
And Ivy finally burns...
