Stars on strings dangle. The prance of a lovely angel, Infatuates those who know, She will go against your foe. Curtains unveil new life, A dreamy eclipse reflects a knife. Dull metallics do show, She will greet your foe. Lights from the heavens rain, Luminating a growing pain. Darkening course veins flow, She will adore your foe.

Behind the shell, the outward lies prostrated And beckons with the lure of golden dreams; A gown of lesser evils decimated, Decaying thread by thread, torn at the seams.
