Honorable Mention
I Flee From Thy Spell
Together forever, at cost
It is time I knew why all’s lost
As one we were, so calm, so gay
Then destroyed, our loyalty tossed
If only you’d loved her that way
Melody’s heart crushed, she your prey
Even gone, her longing hasn't seized
Thy furtive spell lingers today
Crushing life from her, you it pleased
As she shed tears, sorrow released
This doom that I now feel took her
Enraging jealousy unleashed
Familiar path, a smell of myrrh
I run away knowingly sure
You made hell a realization
Bound to eternal void we were
We looked East, my recollection
The morning star’s emanation
Will give powers, you promised three
Where’s thy cure and salutation?
