The crimes untold

As the woman's wrath unfolds

Her screams echo fuelling the mobs hate

While masking their fate as her soul surrounds them 

 

The forest of death has a witches’ breath

With eyes that see through...

what eerie charm doth my fate seal

in darkling night whence daylight is banned

with what ice maid have I to kneel

 

As my eyes take in my ghost white bride

one last iced tear...
