So ghastly a presence, these last of Fomorians
Evil impersonated, wicked and sly
Once they possessed such unrivaled beauty
All now dispersed, scattered away
A dreaded species of haunted souls
Methodically craving revenge
To finally witness the end of the havoc
The exodus of sorrow
The last endeavour that sealed their fate
Came not from the mouth of a pistol
