Enchanted Death
When ignorance led to disaster.
And citizens became a throng -
Angry hearts knew not love’s master.
When ignorance led to disaster.
They beat man-beast; death winds blew faster.
Hatred misplaced was very strong.
When ignorance led to disaster.
And citizens became a throng -
One gunshot in air fury flying,
Her sweet voice sang a distant song.
Berating, they went ransacking
One gunshot in air fury flying,
Goodness found left hatred sighing.
No calm for rage’s deadly throng.
One gunshot in air fury flying,
Her sweet voice sang a distant song.
The angry mob knew evil’s master.
Enchanted legends made hearts soar.
Pure love returned his life made fresher.
The angry mob knew evil’s master.
His broken curse knew her love’s shower.
The beast, a prince, renewed life – adore.
The angry mob knew evil’s master.
Enchanted legends made hearts soar.
