A Forest of Dying Magic

Walking through this forest, past the river, through the dying willow

Laying against the aged wood, sleep overtakes me, I rest against a wilting grass pillow

As I let my heavy eyelids fall, I see them fleeing from the approaching horror, it's sad but necessary

They abandon their homes, one by one, each end every fairy

They all flee, fairies and pixies, angels and sprites, even the unicorns, even the gnomes

Away from the river, away from the willows, fleeing far from their magical homes

For they are all weak, they are all dying

The mermaids now sirens, Gnomes now trolls, the forest that was once filled with laughter is now overrun with crying

It is a forest of dying magic, she knows that all too well

She will bring all of her children, arise them from the very pits of hell

She'll be rid this forest of all that is good, she will never stop until she destroys every happy gleam

She is pure darkness, pure evil, she is Lilith, and she is this forest's new queen
