I've walked through layers of concrete
Now I'm finally back home safely
I've walked through so many skins
Don't feel like myself lately
With shock, I discover I'm still in the ring
And all the hits are making my head spin
The moon is watching me sly, with sleepy eyes
Dark blue glittery robe, the empress of the sky
My heart has started beating just now
I've been dead all this time
This place is after me
As I run, I can only hear myself breathe
I have no choice, I run deep into the woods
If I could avoid this place, I would
The ink black branches are clenching the empty sky
And laughing like the worst hellish circle
The snow looks soothing and I don't know why
A pat on my shoulder, and my eyes become myrtle
I don't bother turning around because I know
I've met again the nocturnal forest's only glow
He wants to catch me and carry me
Through a guilt trip
And then close me forever in a tree
But I know I'm wild at heart
So all my remaining strenght I gather
Down my sleeve I got my best darts
There's no tearing me apart, in your blood I will lather
All my clothes, all my robes
And your antlers for latter
I'm calling to me all of nature
To fight and evict the evil neighbour
The best demon, sitting on a branch with a grin
Against my best fairy, holding fire of zinc
I shake the terrain under your feet
To get back what you took from me
I hold and crush you in my hand
Until your heart's dead and gone, reduced to sand
