Fallen angel set me free
Clip your wings and die for me
We shall sing eternally
Like nightingales on fire.

***

The wisdom of this endless night
Shall burn away and reignite
A star that’s shining oh so bright
Like diamonds in a mire.

The value of a bloodied knife
Is far above a crying life
So desolate and full of strife
Like hearts filled with desire.

Butterflies will dissipate
Through melodies of love and hate
And quiet hours will abate
Like strings upon a lyre.

***

And in this new life we shall dance
And love as if we stand a chance
Of falling through this spellbound trance
Like silencing a choir.
