Heaven never felt any nearer

Till her soul set foot in the scaffold

Dark skies never shine so much clearer

Tired eyes sunk deep behind the blindfold

.

Waves of regret come brave through her thoughts

With the noose 'round a neck tied in knots

Lights out along with all its madness

Hanging in a moment of darkness
