Once with shine and splendor galore

Once with fame and furlong the core

Twice more with beauty and power, it is

Three more it goes to devour it's kids

----------------------------------------------------------

Each day she followed her path all along

Until she came across this fawn

A gentle soul which did no wrong

Still death was sent for her lifesong

----------------------------------------------------------

The reaper yet be, denied her command

Said no to God and took a stand

Now cursed forever, she brings only fear

With a cold darkness that even proud fear

----------------------------------------------------------

The grim sight that I looketh upon

It dawns on me that I cannot yawn

I cannot breathe and I cannot see

I cannot chase no longer me
