(Deprived from my book called Deathsong)


Ye who heareth thy pleas of the Sea

Will learn of the sorrow brought unto Ye by Thee

Of how thine kin released Thee

And Ye's reversal and sacrifice in order to be free


Eyes of gold shall turn blood red

The sky dies as it rains the dead

Ones without wings shall gain more than ever

And compete terribly with those of the feather


Children will reign, fire will grow

The horrors of the day will take their toll

And each night within sight, an angel will take flight

And die once again at the unprecedented fright


Screams of agony, a future symphony

Will leave the heavens so utterly empty

As empty as human hearts that lack the light of hope

The world of light will never cope


Yet the age of Deathsong is not so near

For Ye to shrink back in deplorable fear

Only one can lead the future to light

And sacrifice all in the future fight


Ye of sin,  one of love

Ye that hides from her race, above

Ye who is kin to the oceans below

Ye who is kin to whom the serpent keeps in tow


Ye shall be marked as the daughter of day

Gifted wings that will not stay

Only when they leave, and the duo pleas thrice

May the reversal of sin erase darkness via sacrifice
