Although this story is based on a real-life location, any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

As she pushed me down into the warm Water deep below my clothes were torn Lilith, you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith, I'm dyin' Why won't you set me free? We didn't have to sink for you to be mine Her eyes were as red as dawn Thought I was different, thought I'd save your soul Guess you can't save what isn't half of a whole I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck When did our love become this shallow shipwreck? Two thousand years and twenty more And I thought I was weaker than I ever was ~LILITH BY SAINT AVANGELINE
