The Innocent Burial
A sacred sacrifice
Had tampered fates
Befell on those whose glory one relayed
A heavenly fruit in disguise poisoned the king that ostracized
The lesson learnt was soon forgotten
Brought another fellow beast to life
Carriages covered in lavender leaves
Strangled the malicious monarch that used to greed
The innocent one had emerged
But it seemed as if the stars had cursed
Baby Luke was burnt to death
Only if the fates had been reset
